WMCMH CCBHC-IA Grant - Through the CCBHC-IA Grant, West Michigan Community Mental Health CCBHC will continue its focus on individuals in rural Lake, Mason, and Oceana counties living with or at risk of developing severe mental illness, severe emotional disturbance, and/or substance use disorders.

Individuals in the 3 counties have extensive social/economic factors impacting their health and well-being including:

1) High rates of depression, suicide, and trauma contributing to poor health outcomes;
2) High rates of problematic substance use; and
3) Inadequate access to behavioral health services, particularly for those who are uninsured, underinsured, underserved (e.g., minority populations), and those with low-level, short-term treatment needs.

Due to high rates of depression, suicide, and trauma contributing to poor health outcomes, WMCMH will implement best practices of a comprehensive crisis continuum through the adoption of Air Traffic Control and Zero Suicide. By the end of year 1, 95% of staff will be trained in both practices. Additionally, by the end of year 1, 50% of individuals who screen positive for suicide risk will have a suicide care management plan, with a 10% increase in each subsequent year.

Due to high rates of opioid use, WMCMH will expand access to medication-assisted treatment services to 168 new individuals across its three counties. WMCMH will also improve health outcomes through care coordination with physical health providers. By the end of year 1, 50% of all physical health-related referrals to outside providers will include documented coordination. Referrals made to WMCMH from outside stakeholders will increase by 5% in year 1 and by 2% in each subsequent grant year.

WMCMH will address access barriers to clinical services for underserved populations, increasing services to uninsured, underinsured, and underserved minority populations (e.g., Hispanic/Latino, LGBTQIA+) by 5% in year 1, and an additional 2% in each subsequent year.

Furthermore, WMCMH will be participating in the SAMHSA Implementation Science Pilot in conjunction with a regional CCBHC partner. Grant funds will be used to serve over 575 individuals over 4 years, with 115 individuals in year 1, 140 in year 2, 150 in year 3, and 170 in year 4.
