Lincoln behavioral services ccbhc - the purpose of lincoln behavioral services proposed ccbhc planning, development and implementation project is to increase access to integrated, holistic, evidence based practices and quality care, program expansions and pathway improvements. Services are designed for individuals who are in crisis, experiencing a substance use or opioid use disorder, chronic health conditions, and are at risk for suicide and/or violent behaviors. Wayne county serves over 75,000 individuals with some of the highest poverty rates, suicide and school violence rates, poor mental health and decreased follow-through on chronic physical health conditions than other counties in michigan. These combined factors represent a higher demand for integrated services. LBS will invest in infrastructure to facilitate care coordination, population health analytics and monitoring, increased access and engagement into services through targeted interventions to address health disparities and social determinants of health. Evidence based treatment, staff training and expanded staffing will increase integrated health services (mental health, prevention and engagement, SUD/OUD and/or physical health) to 1500 individuals over four years (Y1 250, Y2 350, Y3 425, Y4 475). LBS populations of focus are youth, veterans, lgbtqi+, and african americans individuals lacking fully integrated, coordinated care, residing in the city of detroit and all remaining communities in wayne county, michigan. LBS will use the ccbhc-PDI funding to advance three primary goals: (1) reduce barriers to access for veterans, lgbtqi+ and african american communities, including medication assisted treatment for SUD and OUD, and suicide prevention; (2) reduce school violence and school avoidance by decreasing/eliminating bullying/cyberbullying, homicide and threats of violence among students k-12, including lgbtqi+ and african american youth; and (3)reduce health inequities and improve access to primary care among veterans, lgbtqi+, youth, and african-american communities with mental illness. Anticipated outcomes include improved treatment retention and recovery, increased professional competency (including culturally competent interventions), decreased school avoidance, threats of violence and suicide rates; improved management of chronic health conditions, and improved access for the identified populations of focus. Care coordination and staffing will focus on screening, prevention, connection to resources, follow-up and intervention on health concerns, SUD/OUD support services and crisis stabilization. Screening and ongoing primary care needs will be provided on site by LBS. The provision of crisis services will be accomplished through LBS, designated collaborating organizations and community stakeholders. LBS will develop an advisory council with membership represented by clients, family members, community stakeholders, and other advocates to obtain input and feedback on the identified goals and outcomes. LBS will enhance data collection and reporting to demonstrate improved access, engagement of target populations and increase care coordination through LBS's EHR and the health information exchange.
