Description
- Abstract
- Summary: through this grant, the settlement will expand the services offered by our family cares mental health center, with an emphasis on providing bilingual, BI-cultural mental health services for children and families in the chicago area who have long been negatively impacted by a lack of access to quality mental health programming. Geographic area and population served: while the settlement maintains our focus on chicago's west town, and its surrounding neighborhoods, our programs and services impact residents in over 85% of chicago ZIP codes. 80% of our participants are low-income, and 82% identify as latinx and black. The youth served by the settlement are predominately from spanish-speaking, low-income families from the west town neighborhood of chicago. Need: recent CDC data shows that 44% of youth reported feeling persistently SAD or hopeless during the past year. In 2021, 55% of youth reported experiencing emotional abuse by a parent or adult in the home, and 11% experienced physical abuse. According to the blueprint for transformation - a vision for improved behavioral healthcare for illinois children (2/2023), nearly 40% of youth in illinois who have experienced a major depressive episode were not able to access appropriate services and care. The report highlights a significant need to not only address crises as they occur, but to provide comprehensive outpatient mental health services to medicaid-eligible youth under the age of 21, a population experiencing a critical shortage of available services. Goals: funding from the CDS grant will allow US to: 1) bring this critical program to scale by hiring three additional full-time bilingual, BI-cultural therapists. 2) increase positive behaviors, and improve the emotional well-being, and overall functioning of the children and adolescents served through this program. 3) become a community mental health center allowing US to bill medicaid for services we provide, moving the program to a self-sustaining financial model. Numbers served: through the performance period of this grant, 9/30/2023 - 9/29/2024, the settlement will provide services, with a strong emphasis on bilingual, BI-cultural mental health services, for 60 unduplicated youth. This number does not include the family and group counseling services that will be provided.
