Reach for Success Mentoring Program (PEI) – p 43-44 Throughout FY 20-21, families with youth in the program were assisted with shelter to isolate from COVID-19. MHSA Plan 2020-23 (Pages 22, 24) The Adult Service Center had several Full Service Partnership (FSP) participants meet their goals of finding affordable permanent housing, employment, and continuing education. (Page 22) The Bridge team, using FSP funding, helps participants meet their goals of working on their mental health and staying in the community. Through the extra support, they are able to find affordable permanent housing, employment, and establish ongoing medical and medication support. The Bridge Team provides services to clients who are in an acute crisis in order to divert psychiatric hospitalization, services that include outreach and engagement with the local county jail to speak with inmates about services and enroll them upon release. (Page 24) The Arch Team (Adults Returning to Community Homes) brought back eight conserved clients to the community.

This comes on the heels of many statewide efforts to reduce the number of mentally ill incompetent inmates waiting to go to State Prison. Though this plan is in the early stages of development, these facility improvements within the county jail itself would help them provide this needed and valuable service to their community. |
