Expanding Behavioral Health Community Outreach: How Missouri’s Increased Collaboration with Law Enforcement, Courts and Emergency Departments Lead to a New Medicaid Waiver

Speaker(s)

Laura Heitmann, LCSW

Natalie Fornelli, MS

With the reduction in mental health inpatient bed-space, law enforcement and courts across the country have had to spend an increasingly large percentage of their time working with people who have complex mental health and/or substance use disorders, which law enforcement and courts are often ill-equipped to adequately serve. Emergency Departments (ED) have also become a revolving door for individuals with behavioral health disorders, whose inpatient stays could often be avoided with a connection to a treatment provider. In 2013, Governor Nixon’s initiative to Strengthen Missouri’s Mental Health System, created two programs (the Community Mental Health Liaisons (CMHL) and the Emergency Room Enhancement (ERE)) to address these problems. The CMHLs were created to be a “boundary spanner” between the mental health and the criminal justice systems. Likewise, ERE program was created to divert costly and unnecessary hospitalizations and to reduce ED use. These initiatives have led to stronger community partnerships, improved crisis systems, and more appropriate treatment for individuals with behavioral health disorders. This session will also explore how Missouri identified a care gap through these programs, and in turn, developed an application for an 1115 Medicaid Demonstration Waiver.

Show Me Zero Suicide: Missouri’s Suicide Safer Care Initiative

Jacquelyn Christmas, BSW, MPA

Bart Andrews, PhD

Zero Suicide is a systems based approach to suicide prevention in health and behavioral healthcare. Zero Suicide has been implemented in State Operated Psychiatric Facilities and in several Community Behavioral Healthcare Centers in Missouri. In 2015, Ozark Center in Southwest Missouri served as the pilot for the Zero Suicide Breakthrough Series in partnership with the Department of Mental Health and the National Council for Behavioral Health. Since then, Behavioral Health Response and Crider Center in the St. Louis area have implemented Zero Suicide. This presentation focuses on workforce competency and organizational processes in a Zero Suicide culture. Workforce survey results show how staff rate themselves in being both competent and confident in providing suicide safer care. Organizational self-assessment results show how staff training, policy development, evidence based practices and follow-up care impact suicide safer care.

“Recovery Academy”: A Multidisciplinary Model for Individualized, Evidence-based Treatment in a Diagnostically Diverse Inpatient Setting

Speaker(s)

Shawn Anderson, PhD

Trena Fowler, BS, CTRS

This presentation will address the challenge of providing individualized psychotherapeutic interventions for inpatients with a wide variety of diagnoses and behaviors that cannot be conceptualized from a unitary theory or model. Presenters will describe the “Recovery Academy” – a multidisciplinary treatment program structured as an academic/college program through which patients “major” in one of three evidence-based treatments, complete “core curriculum” groups, and choose “electives” at the beginning of each new “semester” with assistance from an “advisor.” Attendees will learn about the creation and implementation of this treatment program.

Team Building in the Clinical Setting

Speaker(s)

Kathy Revell, RN

Roger Revell, MBA

Team building has come in many forms since the 1920s when early studies showed that increased worker interaction brought a sense of group identity, and increased social support and cohesion. In mental health treatment settings much of the work is structured around “a team approach” to patient care. Very few agencies and organizations get to create teams from the get-go (“team building”), so this session provides practical theory and approaches to assist in team development and to increase productive teamwork which is so vital in our current clinical work environments.
