ALLIANCE FOR COMMUNITY WELLNESS ("LA FAMILIA") CCBHC PROJECT SERVING 1,500 INDIVIDUALS OVER FOUR YEARS IN SOUTHERN ALAMEDA COUNTY. - LA FAMILIA’S CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC (CCBHC) PROJECT WILL PROVIDE A WHOLE-PERSON INTEGRATED CARE MODEL OF BEHAVIORAL AND PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICE COORDINATION FOR 1,500 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS IN SOUTHERN ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. IN YEAR 1, WE WILL SERVE 200 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS, IN YEAR 2 WE WILL SERVE 300 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS, AND IN YEARS 3 AND 4 WE WILL SERVE 500 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS PER YEAR. THIS REGION HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) VISITS RELATED TO SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS (SMI) AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (SUD) IN THE COUNTY. A 2021 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REPORT FOUND THAT ALAMEDA COUNTY IS VIOLATING THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT BY NEEDLESSLY INSTITUTIONALIZING AND INCARCERATING PEOPLE WITH ACUTE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS FROM A LACK OF APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES. THESE SYSTEM FAILURES RESULT IN WORSENING CONDITIONS WITH PEOPLE UNABLE TO RECOVER AND PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY LIFE. THE SERVICE AREA ALSO HAS A SHORTAGE OF HEALTH WORKERS AND LIMITED CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE SERVICE PROVIDERS, WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO CARE AND HEALTH OUTCOMES. LA FAMILIA’S CCBHC AIMS TO BUILD HEALTH EQUITY BY FOCUSING ON POPULATIONS WITH THE GREATEST HEALTH DISPARITIES IN THE REGION: LOW-INCOME BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN, LATINX, AND SPANISH-SPEAKING RESIDENTS WHO ARE HOUSING INSECURE AND AT INCREASED RISK OF PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALIZATION AND INCARCERATION RELATED TO SMI, SUD, OR CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS (COD). OUR MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF MEDICAL, CLINICAL, AND PEER STAFF WILL FACILITATE WELLNESS AND RECOVERY OF THE WHOLE PERSON THROUGH A SPECTRUM OF HEALTH SERVICES THAT ALLOW PEOPLE TO REACH THEIR POTENTIAL AND THRIVE IN THE COMMUNITY. THE GOALS OF THE PROJECT ARE THREE-FOLD: 1) PREVENT THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION AND INCARCERATION OF PEOPLE WITH SMI, SUD, AND COD; 2) IMPROVE TIMELY ACCESS TO AND PARTICIPATION IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TREATMENT FOLLOWING ED VISITS RELATED TO SMI OR SUD; AND 3) INCREASE INTEGRATION OF EVIDENCE-SUPPORTED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE TO ADDRESS THE COMORBIDITY OF CHRONIC PHYSICAL HEALTH CONDITIONS AMONG THIS POPULATION. AN INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR WILL EVALUATE THE PROJECT’S SUCCESS IN ACHIEVING THESE GOALS AND SUPPORT CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT.
