Community Mental Health of Ottawa County partners with people with mental illness, developmental disabilities, substance use disorders, and the broader community to improve lives and be a premier mental health agency in Michigan.
In the last several years we have been fortunate to have been awarded several new federal and state grants. These grants allow us to provide more mental health supports and services to more people in our community. Our System of Care (SOC) grant, which is called Ottawa Strengthening Youth and Families, provides resources to improve the mental health outcomes for children and youth, birth through age 21, with serious emotional disturbances and their families. This program supports the implementation, expansion, and integration of the SOC approach by creating sustainable infrastructure and services. Check out some of their great resources at www.StigmaFreeOttawa.com.
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) is another grant we’ve received in the last year. Being certified as a CCBHC means that an organization will provide a comprehensive range of mental health and substance use services with an emphasis on increasing access to high-quality care, integrating behavioral health with physical health care and promoting the use of evidence-based practices. Our CCBHC grant has allowed us to serve more people and provide greater opportunities to address the physical health care needs of the individuals we serve with resources such as diabetes education, health fairs, and better care coordination with primary care doctors.
We have other grants that allow us to focus on the health and wellbeing of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, provide services to persons in our jail who have mental illness and/or substance use disorders, and provide post-overdose wellness checks to encourage people to engage in treatment.
Grants usually include significant reporting requirements and administrative support to implement. The benefits of serving more with best practice is worth the effort. We will continue to explore grant opportunities in the future and assist our community partners in applying for grants aimed at expanding mental health services and supports in Ottawa County.
In fiscal year 2022 CMHOC provided services funded through Medicaid, General Fund, Millage and Grants to 7,768 individuals.
