Title: AOT
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2020/09/29
Short Title: Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Oklahoma's (OK's) Path to Recovery Assisted Outpatient Treatment (PTR AOT) program will provide a strengths-based, non-threatening process for ensuring that our most vulnerable citizens, adults with serious mental illness (SMI), who do not yet recognize the need for treatment, access and participate in effective treatment in order to achieve an independent life in the community of their choice, safely and successfully, with hope for the future. OK's PTR AOT program will be implemented in our two most heavily populated counties, Oklahoma (OK) and Tulsa, and in four rural counties in NE OK, Rogers, Washington, Ottawa, and Delaware. The total population of the six counties is 1,687,862. These counties are home to a diverse population and array of languages. There is a more diverse population in OK and Tulsa counties, while in the four NE OK counties, only 1.4% of the population identifies as Black, 17% American Indian, 1.2 % as Asian, and more than 7% as two or more races. The PTR AOT program will be designed to offer maximum treatment and support to prevent these negative outcomes and result in recovery that means living an independent life in the community. A high priority will be placed on preventing a need for psychiatric hospitalization or incarceration due to SMI. The PTR AOT program will serve as a model for the rest of the state, not funded through this SAMHSA opportunity, as AOT develops statewide. OK will serve 100 individuals yearly, with 75 served in the eight service months of year one, with services beginning by the fourth month of funding. Goals for outcomes include: 1) reduce hospitalizations by 25%; 2) reduce homelessness by 15%; 3) reduce arrests by 25%; and 4) increase treatment adherence by 75%.

Title: AOT
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2020/09/29
Short Title: Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Behavioral Health System Baltimore will implement Outpatient Civil Commitment in Maryland for 75 clients with serious mental illness per year. Clients will have had two or more involuntary inpatient commitments within the preceding 12 months and a specific history of unsuccessful community treatment. OCC will support clients in their communities through person-centered treatment planning and services, reducing the negative consequences of repeat inpatient care. Behavioral Health System Baltimore (BHSB) is the local behavioral health authority for Baltimore, Maryland and oversees a network of predominately private non-profit providers that deliver a range of services to 65,000 Baltimore City residents each year. BHSB is the lead applicant as they have the authority to implement, monitor and oversee the components of this grant application. For purposes of this application, Assisted Outpatient Treatment is called Outpatient Civil Commitment (OCC), defined as involuntary outpatient treatment as a condition of release from inpatient civil commitment. Core elements of this OCC pilot include assertive, persistent outreach and engagement conducted by peers, consumer driven services, system accountability for timely and effective service delivery, and the use of data for continuous quality improvement. Baltimore City, an urban environment with a well-developed PBHS and a full continuum of services, is an optimal venue to pilot this program. While Baltimore City is 11% of Maryland's population, 53,370 residents received mental health services in FY 15, which represents 29% of those served state-wide. Baltimore spends disproportionately on inpatient care: 25% of all PBHS expenditures are for inpatient care for 9% of consumers served. Bon Secours Baltimore Health Systems, Inc. will serve as the primary provider for this grant.

Title: AOT
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2020/09/29
Short Title: Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Assist Ventura County (Assist) was designed by Ventura County Behavioral Health Department (VCBH) to implement Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) using Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) in the least restrictive environment to a minimum of 60 persons with SMI annually (240 total), curb the cycle of hospital and jail/prison commitments that commonly result from resistance to mental health treatment, and promote wellness and recovery. Given that Ventura County includes a large (41.2%) Latino population, Assist will conduct targeted efforts to reach that community through culturally informed outreach, engagement and rehabilitation strategies that utilizes bilingual/bicultural staff. VCBH offers a full continuum of care in the Adult Division for persons suffering from SMI through six adult outpatient clinics countywide. Services include: individualized treatment planning, medication management, social rehabilitation, group/individual psychotherapy, and collateral contacts. In addition, VCBH has built an assertive cluster of programs directed at those resistant to treatment, including Rapid Integrated Support and Engagement (RISE), VISTA/XP for incarcerated individuals, VOICE/AB109 for probationers, and the Latino Outreach Program. VCBH will contract with an AOT-experienced external evaluator, Resource Development Associates to measure outcomes. Services include: medication management, case management, rehabilitation, substance treatment, housing, employment/vocational services, peer services, and assistance with natural supports. The goal is to increase the number of persons with SMI receiving outpatient treatment; to promote health, wellness, and recovery; and allow previously untreated persons to live a self-directed life while striving to reach their full potential. Objectives include decreasing rates of hospitalizations, homelessness, jail days by at least 50%; increasing to 95% the clients' ability to be self-supporting through benefits or gainful employment.

Short Title: Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Pine Belt Mental Healthcare Resources (PBMHR) is a community mental health center in southern Mississippi serving a 9-county catchment area. PBMHR is proposing to implement an AOT program in order to benefit adult individuals with SMI who are in need of continual psychiatric care in order to prevent relapse, hospitalization, and/or dangerous behavior and who have difficulty complying with treatment without assistance. The typical candidate for AOT will have a history on non-adherence to their medical regimen due to a neurological syndrome, anosognosia. This syndrome impairs the individual's ability to recognize his/her mental health symptoms, leading to a rejection of the need for treatment. The candidate for AOT will have refused voluntary treatment; is experiencing a health detriment due to this decision; and will be able to function appropriately in the community when compliant with AOT services. Additionally, Mississippi law requires that at least one or both standards be met: 1) the individual demonstrates himself to be an immediate physical danger to self or others; and/or 2) or is gravely disabled and unable to care for himself by virtue of mental illness. The purpose of the Pine Belt AOT Program is to establish and implement a routine, systematic response to outpatient commitments (OPC) in two counties in southern Mississippi in order to reduce the negative consequences associated with untreated serious mental illness and inform knowledge regarding assisted Table 3 links the goals and objectives we intend to achieve.

Title: AOT
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2020/09/29
Short Title: Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Currently an Assisted Outpatient Treatment program does not exist in Northern Nevada; as a result, this proposal includes requests for infrastructure (not to exceed 60% of the requested budget). Based upon the proposed Assertive Community Team (ACT) structure, the total number of clients able to be served will be 85. The Case Managers will carry caseloads of 15 clients each. Their role is to engage the clients in service, motivate them to engage in treatment, attend court ordered and non-court ordered activities, monitor their mental status and ability to meet their activities of daily living, and help them schedule and organize their lives to successfully graduate from the AOT program. The goal of successful graduation from the AOT Program is that the graduate will have sufficient insight into his/her emotional states and behaviors that he/she either can manage them sufficiently to recognize early signs of decompensation and seek appropriate help, or accept feedback from a trusted person (family member, friend or mental health professional) to seek additional help and avoid hospitalization or incarceration. In addition to the services provided by the program staff, AOT clients will have full access to all appropriate services provided by NNAMHS, including an array of mental health and co-occurring groups, a Medicaid approved Day Treatment Program run by a community partner, Intensive Outpatient Programs offered by community partners, psychoeducational groups focused on better living, and occasional outings and celebrations sponsored by NNAMHS and the Nevada Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI).

Title: AOT
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2020/09/29
Short Title: Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) LifeStream Behavioral Center proposes to implement an assisted outpatient treatment team program according to Florida statute which allows for involuntary outpatient commitment of persons with serious mental illness who have been unable to benefit from treatment provided through traditional programs. Assisted Outpatient Treatment, an evidence-based practice listed in the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices, will be complemented by Critical Time Intervention, a case management program in three phases. Critical Time Intervention improves engagement, establishes and strengthens social and community supports and helps individuals sustain recovery. Care coordination will facilitate referral and transition into and out of the program. Cognitive enhancement therapy will be provided as an adjunct service in order to improve the individual's ability to benefit from the program by rehabilitating cognitive functioning according to this evidence based practice. Seventy-five individuals will be served annually with a total of 300 individuals served in this program over the four year lifetime of the project. Project goals 1) Establish a Program for Assisted Outpatient Treatment to serve adults with serious mental illness residing in Lake and Sumter Counties who meet the statutory requirement for involuntary outpatient placement according to Florida's Baker Act; 2) Improve the mental and physical health and quality of life of individual's enrolled in AOT attending to the "four major dimensions that support a life in recovery" -health- home- purpose- community and 3) Monitor and evaluate the AOT to insure that the program provides evidence-based practices and interventions that lead to reductions in episodes of acute illness, hospitalizations, incarceration, homelessness and other adverse events that result from untreated mental illness.

Short Title: Native Connections Community Vision: MPTN's vision of its proposed Skeehch Wuyeekan (Pequot for "Good Medicine") Program is grounded in encouraging systematic efforts to prevent suicide and substance abuse, provide trauma-informed care, and promote positive mental health and wellness. A systems approach focuses on quality improvement rather than blame when suicide attempts and deaths do occur. It also emphasizes the potential in improving systems as a whole instead of relying solely on the efforts of individuals. It is important to acknowledge that suicide related events will occur, but it is critical to make a fundamental shift away from accepting suicide as an occasional consequence of mental health issues. The belief that suicide is preventable must permeate and inform all efforts in order to reduce suicide among MPTN youth. Mission: Increase the effectiveness and sustainability of substance abuse and suicide prevention programming at the local levels in New London County. The proposed Skeehch Wuyeekan Program is designed to increase the effectiveness of substance abuse and suicide prevention efforts by focusing on a reasonable set of goals that will promote widespread use of evidence based and best practices for prevention in New London County. The aim is to reach "saturation" levels of these practices, whereas they are currently "sprinkled" across the local area, reducing their impact. By working with state agencies and local mental health providers, as well as other partners and interested individuals, this plan is intended to mobilize coordinated, effective efforts to address substance abuse and suicide.

Short Title: Native Connections Mnwaadzid Miinwaa Wankiid, or Live Well and Live in Peace, is a culturally congruent approach focused on Native at-risk youth and families who are suffering from suicide ideation, behavioral health, and trauma. The project utilizes western evidence based approaches and tools that consist of CRA,QPR,PHQ-9, and Avatar. Year One of the project consists of developing protocols, practices, and policies that address service gaps, prevention, and crisis response with the sponsoring community in Lac du Flambeau. The project will build on their current infrastructure and engage the community through their Saving Lives Community Partnership Taskforce. The project will conduct community awareness on suicide prevention and behavioral health by hosting Community Readiness Training, and conducting the CRA on an annual basis in LDF. The project will conduct training using AVATAR Program within the local 7 school districts. Finally, the project will attend 12 community functions and conduct 778 suicide and behavioral health risk screenings using the PHQ-9. The project will collect the data from the various tools initially and work with the community and system partners through technical assistance to allow for sustainability and on-going data collection. The project will develop this model in LDF the first year and develop a plan to implement the model in at least 12 other tribal communities in the region for years 2-5. Years 2-5, the project will work with at least 12 tribal communities in the great lakes region on suicide and behavioral health prevention and early intervention. The project goal is to reduce suicide amongst AI youth and families' and increase early intervention and responses by identifying risk of youth prior to a crisis. Through the use of the tools the project will identify the number of at-risk youth in need of services, the percentage of follow-up on such referrals, and community social change.

Short Title: Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT)
Project Description
Oklahoma's (OK's) Path to Recovery Assisted Outpatient Treatment (PTR AOT) program will provide a strengths-based, non-threatening process for ensuring that our most vulnerable citizens, adults with serious mental illness (SMI), who do not yet recognize the need for treatment, access and participate in effective treatment in order to achieve an independent life in the community of their choice, safely and successfully, with hope for the future. OK's PTR AOT program will be implemented in our two most heavily populated counties, Oklahoma (OK) and Tulsa, and in four rural counties in NE OK, Rogers, Washington, Ottawa, and Delaware. The total population of the six counties is 1,687,862. These counties are home to a diverse population and array of languages. There is a more diverse population in OK and Tulsa counties, while in the four NE OK counties, only 1.4% of the population identifies as Black, 17% American Indian, 1.2 % as Asian, and more than 7% as two or more races. The PTR AOT program will be designed to offer maximum treatment and support to prevent these negative outcomes and result in recovery that means living an independent life in the community. A high priority will be placed on preventing a need for psychiatric hospitalization or incarceration due to SMI. The PTR AOT program will serve as a model for the rest of the state, not funded through this SAMHSA opportunity, as AOT develops statewide. OK will serve 100 individuals yearly, with 75 served in the eight service months of year one, with services beginning by the fourth month of funding. Goals for outcomes include: 1) reduce hospitalizations by 25%; 2) reduce homelessness by 15%; 3) reduce arrests by 25%; and 4) increase treatment adherence by 75%.... View More

Project Description
Behavioral Health System Baltimore will implement Outpatient Civil Commitment in Maryland for 75 clients with serious mental illness per year. Clients will have had two or more involuntary inpatient commitments within the preceding 12 months and a specific history of unsuccessful community treatment. OCC will support clients in their communities through person-centered treatment planning and services, reducing the negative consequences of repeat inpatient care. Behavioral Health System Baltimore (BHSB) is the local behavioral health authority for Baltimore, Maryland and oversees a network of predominately private non-profit providers that deliver a range of services to 65,000 Baltimore City residents each year. BHSB is the lead applicant as they have the authority to implement, monitor and oversee the components of this grant application. For purposes of this application, Assisted Outpatient Treatment is called Outpatient Civil Commitment (OCC), defined as involuntary outpatient treatment as a condition of release from inpatient civil commitment. Core elements of this OCC pilot include assertive, persistent outreach and engagement conducted by peers, consumer driven services, system accountability for timely and effective service delivery, and the use of data for continuous quality improvement. Baltimore City, an urban environment with a well-developed PBHS and a full continuum of services, is an optimal venue to pilot this program. While Baltimore City is 11% of Maryland's population, 53,370 residents received mental health services in FY 15, which represents 29% of those served state-wide. Baltimore spends disproportionately on inpatient care: 25% of all PBHS expenditures are for inpatient care for 9% of consumers served.

Assist Ventura County (Assist) was designed by Ventura County Behavioral Health Department (VCBH) to implement Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) using Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) in the least restrictive environment to a minimum of 60 persons with SMI annually (240 total), curb the cycle of hospital and jail/prison commitments that commonly result from resistance to mental health treatment, and promote wellness and recovery. Given that Ventura County includes a large (41.2%) Latino population, Assist will conduct targeted efforts to reach that community through culturally informed outreach, engagement and rehabilitation strategies that utilizes bilingual/bicultural staff. VCBH offers a full continuum of care in the Adult Division for persons suffering from SMI through six adult outpatient clinics countywide. Services include: individualized treatment planning, medication management, social rehabilitation, group/individual psychotherapy, and collateral contacts. In addition, VCBH has built an assertive cluster of programs directed at those resistant to treatment, including Rapid Integrated Support and Engagement (RISE), VISTA/XP for incarcerated individuals, VOICE/AB109 for probationers, and the Latino Outreach Program. VCBH will contract with an AOT-experienced external evaluator, Resource Development Associates to measure outcomes. Services include: medication management, case management, rehabilitation, substance treatment, housing, employment/vocational services, peer services, and assistance with natural supports. The goal is to increase the number of persons with SMI receiving outpatient treatment; to promote health, wellness, and recovery; and allow previously untreated persons to live a self-directed life while striving to reach their full potential. Objectives include decreasing rates of hospitalizations, homelessness, jail days by at least 50%; increasing to 95% the clients' ability to be self-supporting through benefits or gainful employment....

Project Description
Pine Belt Mental Healthcare Resources (PBMHR) is a community mental health center in southern Mississippi serving a 9-county catchment area. PBMHR is proposing to implement an AOT program in order to benefit adult individuals with SMI who are in need of continual psychiatric care in order to prevent relapse, hospitalization, and/or dangerous behavior and who have difficulty complying with treatment without assistance. The typical candidate for AOT will have a history on non-adherence to their medical regimen due to a neurological syndrome, anosognosia. This syndrome impairs the individual's ability to recognize his/her mental health symptoms, leading to a rejection of the need for treatment.

Project Description
Pine Belt Mental Healthcare Resources (PBMHR) is a community mental health center in southern Mississippi serving a 9-county catchment area. PBMHR is proposing to implement an AOT program in order to benefit adult individuals with SMI who are in need of continual psychiatric care in order to prevent relapse, hospitalization, and/or dangerous behavior and who have difficulty complying with treatment without assistance. The typical candidate for AOT will have a history on non-adherence to their medical regimen due to a neurological syndrome, anosognosia. This syndrome impairs the individual's ability to recognize his/her mental health symptoms, leading to a rejection of the need for treatment. The candidate for AOT will have refused voluntary treatment; is experiencing a health detriment due to this decision; and will be able to function appropriately in the community when compliant with AOT services. Additionally, Mississippi law requires that at least one or both standards be met: 1) the individual demonstrates himself to be an immediate physical danger to self or others; and/or 2) or is gravely disabled and unable to care for himself by virtue of mental illness.

Project Description
Currently an Assisted Outpatient Treatment program does not exist in Northern Nevada; as a result, this proposal includes requests for infrastructure (not to exceed 60% of the requested budget). Based upon the proposed Assertive Community Team (ACT) structure, the total number of clients able to be served will be 85. The Case Managers will carry caseloads of 15 clients each. Their role is to engage the clients in service, motivate them to engage in treatment, attend court ordered and non-court ordered activities, monitor their mental status and ability to meet their activities of daily living, and help them schedule and organize their lives to successfully graduate from the AOT program. The goal of successful graduation from the AOT Program is that the graduate will have sufficient insight into his/her emotional states and behaviors that he/she either can manage them sufficiently to recognize early signs of decompensation and seek appropriate help, or accept feedback from a trusted person (family member, friend or mental health professional) to seek additional help and avoid hospitalization or incarceration. In addition to the services provided by the program staff, AOT clients will have full access to all appropriate services provided by NNAMHS, including an array of mental health and co-occurring groups, a Medicaid approved Day Treatment Program run by a community partner, Intensive Outpatient Programs offered by community partners, psychoeducational groups focused on better living, and occasional outings and celebrations sponsored by NNAMHS and the Nevada Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI)....

Project Description
LifeStream Behavioral Center proposes to implement an assisted outpatient treatment team program according to Florida statute which allows for involuntary outpatient commitment of persons with serious mental illness who have been unable to benefit from treatment provided through traditional programs. Assisted Outpatient Treatment, an evidence-based practice listed in the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices, will be complemented by Critical Time Intervention, a case management program in three phases. Critical Time Intervention improves engagement, establishes and strengthens social and community supports and helps individuals sustain recovery. Care coordination will facilitate referral and transition into and out of the program. Cognitive enhancement therapy will be provided as an adjunct service in order to improve the individual's ability to benefit from the program by rehabilitating cognitive functioning according to this evidence based practice. Seventy-five individuals will be served annually with a total of 300 individuals served in this program over the four year lifetime of the project. Project goals 1) Establish a Program for Assisted Outpatient Treatment to serve adults with serious mental illness residing in Lake and Sumter Counties who meet the statutory requirement for involuntary outpatient placement according to Florida's Baker Act; 2) Improve the mental and physical health and quality of life of individual's enrolled in AOT attending to the "four major dimensions that support a life in recovery" -health- home- purpose- community and 3) Monitor and evaluate the AOT to insure that the program provides evidence-based practices and interventions that lead to reductions in episodes of acute illness, hospitalizations, incarceration, homelessness and other adverse events that result from untreated mental illness....

Project Description
Community Vision: MPTN's vision of its proposed Skeehch Wuyeekan (Pequot for "Good Medicine") Program is grounded in encouraging systematic efforts to prevent suicide and substance abuse, provide trauma-informed care, and promote positive mental health and wellness. A systems approach focuses on quality improvement rather than blame when suicide attempts and deaths do occur. It also emphasizes the potential in improving systems as a whole instead of relying solely on the efforts of individuals. It is important to acknowledge that suicide related events will occur, but it is critical to make a fundamental shift away from accepting suicide as an occasional consequence of mental health issues. The belief that suicide is preventable must permeate and inform all efforts in order to reduce suicide among MPTN youth. Mission: Increase the effectiveness and sustainability of substance abuse and suicide prevention programming at the local levels in New London County. The proposed Skeehch Wuyeekan Program is designed to increase the effectiveness of substance abuse and suicide prevention efforts by focusing on a reasonable set of goals that will promote widespread use of evidence based and best practices for prevention in New London County. The aim is to reach "saturation" levels of these practices, whereas they are currently "sprinkled" across the local area, reducing their impact. By working with state agencies and local mental health providers, as well as other partners and interested individuals, this plan is intended to mobilize coordinated, effective efforts to address substance abuse and suicide....

Project Description
Mnwaadzid Miinwaa Wankiid, or Live Well and Live in Peace, is a culturally congruent approach focused on Native at-risk youth and families who are suffering from suicide ideation, behavioral health, and trauma. The project utilizes western evidence based approaches and tools that consist of CRA,QPR,PHQ-9, and Avatar. Year One of the project consists of developing protocols, practices, and policies that address service gaps, prevention, and crisis response with the sponsoring community in Lac du Flambeau. The project will build on their current infrastructure and engage the community through their Saving Lives Community Partnership Taskforce. The project will conduct community awareness on suicide prevention and behavioral health by hosting Community Readiness Training, and conducting the CRA on an annual basis in LDF. The project will conduct training using AVATAR Program within the local 7 school districts. Finally, the project will attend 12 community functions and conduct 778 suicide and behavioral health risk screenings using the PHQ-9. The project will collect the data from the various tools initially and work with the community and system partners through technical assistance to allow for sustainability and on-going data collection. The project will develop this model in LDF the first year and develop a plan to implement the model in at least 12 other tribal communities in the region for years 2-5. Years 2-5, the project will work with at least 12 tribal communities in the great lakes region on suicide and behavioral health prevention and early intervention. The project goal is to reduce suicide amongst AI youth and families' and increase early intervention and responses by identifying risk of youth prior to a crisis. Through the use of the tools the project will identify the number of at-risk youth in need of services, the percentage of follow-up on such referrals, and community social change.... View More
