Rediscover Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Improvement and Advancement Project - Rediscover, a certified community behavioral health clinic, serving residents of Jackson County, Missouri, proposed to implement a CCBHC improvement and advancement project to enhance their capacity to serve individuals with serious emotional disturbance, serious mental illness, substance use disorder, or who have a co-occurring disorder like SMI and SUD, especially those who are in crisis with peer support services.

This project will serve 278 clients in year one, 360 clients in year two, 440 clients in year three, 560 clients in four, for a total of 1,638 unduplicated clients over four years. Based on the requirement of peer support specialists to be 18 years or older, 95% of clients to be served in this program are expected to be 18 years and older.

Ideally, at least 80% of clients reached by this program will be underrepresented, most likely Latinx and African American, to address health disparities for these populations in the region.

The goals of this project are to increase Rediscover's capacity 1) to identify and engage underrepresented populations in treatment services; 2) connect individuals to appropriate ongoing services and resources before they escalate into crisis; and 3) engage individuals in crisis in ongoing treatment services; and increase individuals' capacity 4) to navigate their behavioral healthcare options.

Objectives include increasing the show rate for intakes, engagement in pre-treatment services, successful connection to outpatient, clinical, and/or recovery treatment services and maintenance of these services, and decreasing pre-service crisis interactions and the escalation into crisis while in services.

To achieve these goals and objectives, Rediscover will hire twenty-six peer support specialists, family support providers, and team leads over the four-year period; train them in evidence-based practices; and integrate them into five substance use service programs and eight crisis service programs.

In addition, peer support specialists will work with the quality improvement department to design and distribute surveys and conduct focus groups with individuals who have chosen not to participate in services or who have struggled to stay engaged in services, including individuals from Latinx and Black ethnic and racial backgrounds to improve the needs assessments conducted by Rediscover.
