The $1,200,000 Project Grant awarded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Community Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224) will enable The Institute For Family Health to expand access to behavioral health and substance use disorder (SUD) services in high-need communities across New York City and the Mid-Hudson Valley. Specifically, the funding will be used to:
-
Expand on-site, same-day behavioral health consultation and brief intervention services at the Institute's "hub" sites, connecting patients to licensed mental health clinicians.
-
Enhance training for primary care providers and clinical staff on the provision of SUD services, with a focus on medications for opioid and alcohol use disorders (MOUD/MAUD).
-
Undertake quality improvement activities to improve timely, patient-centered access to SUD treatment, including MOUD and MAUD.
The proposed project aims to increase capacity to serve individuals affected by depression, anxiety, SUDs, and related conditions that significantly impact quality of life and increase risk of premature death. The grant period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026.
