NorthCare Logan County CCBHC-IA - NorthCare's Logan County CCBHC IA project will focus on developing enhanced crisis intervention services and community support services.

Guthrie's CCBHC project seeks to improve access to community-based mental health and substance use disorder treatment and support, including 24/7 crisis services, to anyone in their service area who needs it, regardless of their ability to pay or place of residence.

To address this gap in care, a 24/7 triage and crisis assessment center will be established within the existing certified community behavioral health clinic.

The population served by the Logan County CCBHC IA are low-income, uninsured, and underinsured residents of Logan County, Oklahoma (population 51,933), with serious mental illness (SMI) and complex needs such as co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD), serious emotional disturbance (SED), and other co-occurring disorders (COD) across the lifespan.

The 5 largest ethnic groups in Logan County are White (non-Hispanic) (77.6%), Black or African American (non-Hispanic) (8.16%), White (Hispanic) (5.35%), Two+ (non-Hispanic) (4.16%), and American Indian & Alaska Native (non-Hispanic) (3.48%).

Logan County, designated a high-needs health professional shortage area (HPSA), is the 5th lowest in access to treatment in Oklahoma, with a ratio of behavioral health providers to the population of 640:1.

This project will seek to address disparities among adult and adolescent males particularly among BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color).

2) Serious mental illness among young adults (18-25 years old) in Oklahoma increased dramatically from 4.4% in 2008-2010 to 8.7% 2017-2019.

3) Youth in transition, as an age group, have the highest prevalence of serious mental illness (SMI) (8.6%) compared to adults aged 26-49 years (6.8%) and aged 50 and older (2.9%).

NorthCare was established as a community mental health provider to the citizens of Oklahoma in 1980.

As a safety net provider of behavioral health services, NorthCare's priority populations are individuals experiencing a psychiatric crisis, adults with SMI, adults and children with substance use disorder, co-occurring disorders, and children with SED.

The project will serve 325 unique individuals over the four-year period, with an average of 81 new clients enrolled annually.

As a result of the grant, 67% of individuals will report improved self-care, 94% will receive a tobacco screening or tobacco education, 30% or more will receive peer recovery services.

The clinic will offer case management, therapy, wellness, peer support, and community-based services.

Goals of the project include: increasing access to high-quality crisis services, supporting recovery from mental illness and substance use disorders, using evidenced-based practices, measuring and improving the quality of care, and meaningfully involving consumers and family members in program planning and development.
