Speaker(s):

Sara Schwab, MS, LPC and Mirna Herrera, MA

Presentation:  In the past year the Consumer Operated Service Program (COSP) and Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) programs have begun to merge, paving the way for revolutionary changes to the way individuals living with mental illness, homelessness, or both, access clinical and peer support services, a safe refuge, and recovery focused resources. This presentation highlights the impetus for the merging of these two programs; the benefits to consumers, staff, and the community; challenges that have arisen and are anticipated, and ways that those challenges have been met.

Objectives:

  • Discuss the differences and similarities among the types of drop-in centers including those operated by PATH and COSP.
  • Determine strategies for engaging hard-to-reach clients in a nonresidential, nonclinical setting.

The Emergency Room Enhancement program was initiated by DMH to develop models of effective interventions for people with behavioral health crisis, focusing on individuals who are frequent users of hospital services. The program creates paths to the Community Mental Health Centers and Substance Use Providers for needed care, rather than to the Emergency Departments where they are stabilized and released, often to return again. The DMH recognized the differing needs in each region, allowing the Administrative Agents to build a collaborative that would best meet the needs of their communities.
