MHSA Community Services and Supports (CSS) Plan Update Published 5/18/05 on DMH website

CSS - Three Types of Funding DMH is making three types of funding available to counties. The three types are: 1. 1.Full Service Partnership Funds – funds to provide necessary services and supports for initial populations 2. 2.General System Development Funds – funds to improve services and infrastructure 3. 3.Outreach and Engagement Funding – funds for those populations that are currently receiving little or no service

CSS Plan – Logic Model The CSS Plan Requirements are based on a logic model that links: 1.Community issues resulting from untreated mental illness and a lack of services and supports 2.Mental health needs within the community, 3.The identification of specific initial populations to be served based upon the issues and needs identified, 4.The strategies and activities to be implemented, and 5.The desired outcomes to be achieved.

Inability to be in a mainstream school environment School failure Hospitalization Peer and family problems Out-of home placement Involvement in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems Community Concerns – For Children, Youth and Some TAY

Community Concerns – Some TAY, Adults and Older Adults   Homelessness  Frequent hospitalizations  Frequent emergency medical care  Inability to work  Inability to manage independence  Isolation  Involuntary care  Institutionalization  Incarceration

Steps to Complete CSS Three-Year Plan – Full Service 1. Prioritize concerns by age group 2. Identify related needs & disparities 3. Identify populations most impacted 4. Determine strategies & activities to meet needs 5. Determine expected outcomes to be achieved

CSS Three-Year Plan – System Development Funds The funds will be available to improve services and infrastructure for the identified initial full service populations and for other clients with emphasis on reducing ethnic disparities. Examples:   client and family services such as peer support, education and advocacy services   mobile crisis teams   funds to promote interagency and community collaboration and services   funds to develop the capacity to provide values-driven, evidence-based and promising clinical practices.

CSS Three-Year Plan – Outreach and Engagement Recognizes special activities needed to reach unserved populations with a priority on eliminating racial ethnic disparities. Examples:   funding for racial ethnic community-based organizations   mental health and primary care partnerships   faith-based agencies   tribal organizations   health clinics   organizations that help individuals who are homeless or incarcerated and link potential clients to services   funds for clients and families to reach out to those that may be reluctant to enter the system   funds for screening of children and youth   school and primary care based outreach to children and youth who may have serious emotional disorders.
