Enhancing clinical and integrated services in our county - sanilac county community mental health authority (sanilac CMH) proposes to support and enhance the delivery of clinical and integrated services to improve the overall health of residents of sanilac county, michigan; a rural community of 41,170 residents. Sanilac county is a designated shortage area for providers of multiple specialties which leads to a significant number of unmet needs that sanilac CMH and other county providers are unable to meet. The ccbhc project will give US the ability to enhance the array of services, increase the number of individuals we provide services to, and expand collaborations and partnerships for a more integrated approach to treatment. The goals for our project are: 1) provide expanded and integrated evidenced-based best practices (ebps) at sanilac CMH and throughout the catchment area regardless of population/sub-population and severity level of the individuals; 2) provide enhanced integrated treatment capacity and risk screenings with primary care DCO partners; and 3) improve patient access, engagement, retention, and outcomes with the SUD and COD populations. Sanilac CMH will accomplish these goals by increasing staff capacity, enhancing education of the organization and the community, improving engagement in both primary health and mental health services for the individuals served, implementing evidence-based and promising practices necessary for treatment of the additional sub-populations we will serve under the grant. Sanilac CMH and dcos will collaborate to expand outreach to the community to make services available for those identified with unmet needs. Sanilac CMH will collect, analyze and disseminate data from this project to make informed sustainability decisions for the continuation of services after the lifetime of this grant.
