Mental Health Assessment and Support Project
In collaboration with local agencies providing mental health services, this project created a specialized mental health triage team. The team provided person-centered case formulation, treatment planning, mental health, psychiatric assessment, and referral services to individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities at risk for co-occurring mental disorders. Additionally, through community collaboration, the project specifically:
- Increased internal and external identification of dually diagnosed consumers;
- Trained service coordinators in making appropriate referrals and recognizing mental health conditions;
- Trained vendors in recognizing characteristics of co-occurring diagnoses; and,
- Increased the number of mental health clinicians capable of serving this population locally
