About this file
This document is a questions and answers addendum for HSS-26-018, a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) contract opportunity issued by the Delaware Division of Health & Social Services (DHSS). The addendum clarifies two key inquiries received from prospective bidders regarding the scope of services and existing service providers in the state. The first question addresses an incomplete prompt in Appendix A regarding staff qualifications and experience for organizations implementing new sites in Delaware, which has been completed for bidders' reference. The second question pertains to existing mobile crisis service providers and crisis behavioral health services in the state.
The addendum clarifies that Delaware operates a statewide crisis intervention system managed by DHSS, with the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH) coordinating adult crisis services through mobile response teams and Recovery Response Centers that provide walk-in support and stabilization services. ContactLifeline operates as the state's 988 Lifeline Center, providing 24/7 free and confidential support for individuals in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. For children under 18 years old, mobile response and stabilization services are provided by the Department of Services for Children Youth & Families. Prospective CCBHCs are expected to coordinate with this existing state-sanctioned crisis system, support referrals to the CCBHC, manage care transitions, and provide their own crisis receiving and stabilization services as outlined in CCBHC certification criteria.
