IDHS/Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery

Executive Summary • Turning Point will create a project that will establish a mental health crisis response center that will prevent unnecessary psychiatric hospitalizations. The program will also provide ongoing outpatient care by combining crisis assessment, short-term crisis therapy, care coordination, and medication management. The program will be staffed with Qualified Mental Health Professionals who can bill for services under Turning Point’s Medicaid license. Funding Priorities or Focus Areas • IDHS is working to counteract systemic racism and inequity, and to prioritize and maximize diversity throughout its service provision process. This work involves addressing existing institutionalized inequities, aiming to create transformation, and operationalizing equity and racial justice. It also focuses on the creation of a culture of inclusivity for all regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or ability.

Program Description Turning Point Behavioral Health has a long-standing history of providing community-based mental health crisis services beginning in 2000 and previously operated a Living Room Program until the end of FY26. With that history and experience, Turning Point is proposing a new crisis response team that addresses the needs for support in the community with a team design that is not vulnerable to changes in grant structure and availability. The proposed community mental health crisis response center will prevent unnecessary psychiatric hospitalizations while providing ongoing outpatient care by combining crisis assessment, short-term crisis therapy, care coordination, and medication management. This program is designed to be sustainable by staffing with Qualified Mental Health Professionals (QMHPs) who can bill for the services under Turning Point’s Medicaid license as well as billing private insurance for counseling, therapy, and medication management. For planning purposes, Turning Point has used data collected from their previous crisis and Living Room Programs to inform service delivery under this mental health crisis center program. This data indicates that approximately 79% of crisis presentations to their previous programs occurred on weekdays, and 21% occurred on Saturdays and Sundays. Additionally, approximately 71% of crisis presentations occurred on weekdays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Staff Composition Paid employees dedicated to crisis support and short-term crisis follow-up will be funded using this Legislative Add-On. The planned staffing positions are as follows: • 1 full-time Director • 1 full-time Coordinator • 7 full-time Master’s level clinicians with degrees in counseling, social work, and/or marriage and family therapy • 1 part-time Psychiatrist • 1 part-time Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) Each clinician (including the Coordinator) works five 8-hour shifts per week. All clinicians work Fridays 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. and participate in rotating coverage for that day. Clinicians will be assigned predictable work days and hours to allow for consistency in client care on individual caseloads. In addition to the standard agency training protocol, all new hires for this Crisis Program will receive training in Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). The strategy for staffing the Turning Point Crisis Program has three key facets: • Crisis Program staff will be active during the regular Turning Point Center hours of Monday-Thursday 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. The published crisis phone line will forward to the Ascension answer service for overnights and during all weekend hours. Ascension workers will gather the necessary information to allow the Turning Point Crisis Program staff to follow up with all callers the next workday. • To cover the expected peak hours of crisis service demand, overlapping 8-hour shifts will be used Mondays-Thursdays, and a double shift will be used for Fridays. • A solid coverage plan during business hours will allow for continuity of care for people served and eliminate any spill-over demand on the regular clinic therapeutic staff on duty. Timeline for Implementation To manage both ongoing crisis presentations/calls and the tasks associated with a new staffing and program design, Turning Point will implement a two-phase approach to program launch. During Phase I (approximately two months), at least four of the eight total clinical staff will be hired. During this phase, community outreach will be done to build referral volume, staff will complete onboarding and training requirements, biweekly team meetings will be held to discuss cases and work tools, warm handoff routines with Ascension will be developed, and productivity trends will be monitored. Individuals requiring services beyond the program capacity during Phase I will receive warm handoffs to Tapestry and other community providers to ensure continuity of care. During Phase II (beginning in month three of operations), the abovementioned staffing pattern will be implemented, hiring of additional staff will be done if referral volume supports growth, and the Psychiatrist and APN will be shifted from providing new program consultation and development of protocols to providing patient care. Program Services Services provided under this crisis program will include: 1. In-person same day crisis assessment/intervention to active clients or new individuals. a. Provided by phone b. Provided in-person using the current Living Room respite rooms 2. Follow-up crisis stabilization contact within 72-hours of initial service. 3. Warm hand-off to intake for ongoing therapy/counseling. 4. Case management by the Crisis Program staff. 5. Psychiatric assessment by the Crisis Program Psychiatrist. 6. Medication Management following the Emergency Psychiatric Medication Consultation protocol for individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. 7. Outreach activities to schools and community agencies. Productivity Expectations Each QMHP will carry a client caseload of individuals referred through the crisis program and be expected to bill 20 hours per week. The remaining 20 hours per week are allocated to crisis response, travel time, clinical documentation, care coordination, consultation, outreach, and supervision. Each crisis session will have a follow-up therapy appointment within 72-hours. Future referrals will be generated through networking with community partners such as psychiatric inpatient facilities, emergency departments, schools, and other Turning Point sites. Performance Requirements • The grantee shall provide a community mental health crisis response center that will prevent unnecessary psychiatric hospitalizations while providing ongoing outpatient care by combining crisis assessment, short-term crisis therapy, care coordination, and medication management. Services will be provided both by phone and in-person, and each crisis assessment will have a scheduled follow-up therapy appointment within 72 hours. Performance Measures 1. Number of unduplicated individuals served by in-person services. 2. Number of unduplicated individuals served by phone. 3. Total number of unduplicated individuals served (in-person or phone). 4. Number of unduplicated individuals offered referrals to ongoing services. 5. Total number of individuals served (in-person or phone). 6. Number of individuals receiving a scheduled follow-up therapy appointment within 72 hours. 7. Number of individuals referred to emergency rooms for potential inpatient psychiatric care. Performance Standards 1. 25 or more unduplicated individuals served (in-person or phone) in each quarter. 2. 5% or less of individuals served were referred to emergency rooms for potential inpatient psychiatric services. 3. 100% of unduplicated individuals offered referrals to ongoing services. 4. 100% of individuals received a scheduled follow-up therapy appointment within 72 hours.
