Program: Seclusion and Restraint (2007) SM058130
Congressional District: NJ-12
FY 2009 Funding: $214,000
Project Period: 09/30/2007 - 09/29/2010
The NJ Division of Mental Health Services (NJDMHS) hereby submits its proposal to fully implement the SAMHSA National Technical Assistance Center (NTAC) Core Strategies with the goal of reducing and eventually eliminating Seclusion and Restraint (S/R) use in four state psychiatric hospitals. The proposal, entitled "A Wellness and Recovery Approach to the Development of Alternatives to Seclusion and Restraints", will monitor relevant outcomes and allow the Division to partner with a consumer-run mental health organization that will provide onsite peer advocates to assist in these efforts. This project will be part of a broader Wellness and Recovery Transformation Agenda taking place statewide in NJ's mental health system. NJDMHS believes that use of S/R in the hospitals significantly erodes the ability of consumers and staff to collaborate in recovery-based treatment, in addition to negatively impacting consumers and staff by putting them at risk of injury and emotional trauma. The target population, for the purpose of this project, is adults with serious mental illness across the lifespan that are served in each of the four (4) non-forensic state hospitals. NJDMHS will also be including subpopulations such as older adults, (65 years of age and older) and younger adults (18-24 years of age). The catchment area will be all 21 counties of NJ. In 2003, the NTAC Strategies were the focus of a NJDMHS training forum for administrative and clinical leadership across all of our state psychiatric hospitals. Subsequently, a statewide Seclusion and Restraint Reduction Workgroup with representatives from all of the state psychiatric hospitals was formed to coordinate and disseminate S/R reduction activities and information across the state hospital system. Hospital performance reviews have revealed that efforts to provide alternatives to S/R, especially trauma-informed interventions, are inconsistent. In addition, more effective use of S/R data is needed to
