One Stop Wellness of the Finger Lakes - The One Stop Wellness of the Finger Lakes through of the Finger Lakes Area Counseling and Recovery Agency (FLACRA) is an established and attested CCBHC seeking to engage in the improvement and advancement activities to enhance and expand services at the current sites Yates and Ontario counties.

The population(s) of focus for this project is adults, youth and children with a SMI, SED, SUD or COD, primarily low-income/Medicaid recipients. The project will continue, enhance and expand comprehensive CCBHC services directly and through designated collaborating organizations and partnering providers.

The key contexts for the goals and objectives are the characteristics of the population(s) of focus, the socio-economic and environmental factors that surround these populations, disparities and inequity brought to light during the pandemic and the resulting trauma and stressors impacting on mental wellness and use of substances, highlighting the need for an integrated, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented and equity focused approach.

These services will be enhanced through the establishment and expansion of school-based sites and development evidence-based approaches and practices, such as Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) to serve the cohort of children and youth with serious behavioral concerns. The ability to provide off-site services will allow for services to be provided at home or at alternative sites, meeting the needs of students on out-of-school suspension due to their behaviors.

The addition of school-based outpatient services is expected to support schools with earlier treatment interventions and linkage to recovery support services being made available before concerns escalate to a level prompting suspension. Partnerships will be fostered for the establishment of pro-social opportunities for youth through recovery centers or alternate sites.

Further development of staff knowledge and capacity to extract data from the EHR and other systems to make data-driven decisions, identify and improve practice patterns, drive quality and promote an interdisciplinary team approach through information sharing within the EHR will occur. Adherence to SPARS and NOMS requirements and accuracy and identification of disparities will be an area of focus. Additional staff/consultant support will be needed to monitor fidelity to EBP practices.

A total of 1,266 unduplicated and 2,961 duplicated (across grant years) individuals will be served by the project over the 4-year period, Year 1: 593, Year 2: 682, Year 3: 784; Year 4: 902.
