Shawnee family health center ccbhc-PDI - project name: shawnee family health center ccbhc-PDI summary: shawnee mental health center, (DBA) shawnee family health center (sfhc) seeks ccbhc PDI funding to increase access to help transform the community behavioral health system and provide comprehensive, coordinated behavioral health care by establishing a new cchbc in portsmouth, ohio (scioto county). Shawnee family health center is a non-profit organization committed to serving adams, lawrence, and scioto counties in southern ohio. Sfhc provides a broad range of comprehensive psychiatric, primary care, and employment services for both children and adults. Sfhc is a fqhc look-alike through hrsa. Because of shawnee's comprehensive array of services that include physical healthcare and staff who are star certified to provide services to veterans, there are no dcos. Population of focus: the population of focus for this grant will be adults and youth with behavioral health needs who are indigent, very low-income, or without an ability to pay for services. They often face many barriers including limited transportation, complicated health needs, and significant stressors due to limited income. Though the ccbhc see will be based in scioto county, the catchment area will include lawrence and adams counties. These three counties in the southern-most portion ohio and border kentucky and west virginia and are considered part of appalachia. Goals: 1: by the end of year 1 (Y1), sfhc will develop and implement a ccbhc that meets the certification criteria as designated by samhsa, as evidenced by providing the nine core services. 2. By the end of Y1, sfhc's ccbhc will provide a comprehensive range of outreach, screening, assessment, treatment, care coordination, and recovery support based on a needs assessment that aligns with the ccbhc certification criteria as evidenced by the completed and approved attestation. 3: through the implementation of the ccbhc, sfhc will support recovery from mental illness and/or substance use disorders (SUD) by providing access to high-quality mental health and SUD services, regardless of an individual's ability to pay by the end of Y1, as evidenced by the services offered by sfhc.
