We provide medications for addiction treatment (MAT) in conjunction with counseling and case management.

Project Goals and Measurable Objectives:

Our goals include:

- For each grant year, across the whole agency, screen 800 individuals for depression using the PHQ-9.
- For each grant year, screen 95% of CCBHC consumers for suicide risk using a combination of narrative assessment and standardized tools.
- For each grant year, 90% of CCBHC consumers screened at-risk for suicide using the C-SSRS, or at risk for major depression using the PHQ-9, will develop a crisis plan with their clinician or case manager.
- For each grant year, 65% of CCBHC consumers will have reduced risk for suicide, and reduced symptoms of depression as indicated by improvements in C-SSRS and PHQ-9 scores between assessments.
- For each grant year, 65% of individuals who screen positive for alcohol issues during intake will attend their next appointment.
- For each grant year, we will make 3 posts per week to increase social media presence through an online, social media campaign to raise awareness of MH and SUD services at the Jamhi CCBHC.
- For each grant year, we will conduct outreach and education at appropriate, targeted venues for reaching homeless, at-risk populations at (3) community events and service-providing agencies per grant year, to reach a total of 500 individuals per year.
