We are pleased to announce that Northwest Essex Community Healthcare Network has been chosen as an awardee of a SAMHSA-funded Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Improvement and Advancement (CCBHC–IA) grant in the amount of $1,000,000.
Northwest Essex Community Healthcare Network was designated as a CCBHC (Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic) in the State of New Jersey in 2017. This CCBHC-IA grant supports existing CCBHCs, like Northwest Essex, to enhance and improve our various programs and services. This grant will help expand and increase access to evidence-based mental health and substance use services for all consumers – regardless of their ability to pay. This includes providing essential mental health services like 24-hour crisis teams, screening, and case management to vulnerable communities that would otherwise lack access to services.
As a CCBHC, Northwest Essex Community Healthcare Network provides the community with an all-inclusive range of substance use and mental health disorder services – especially for people who have the most complex needs. We are extremely honored and fortunate to be a recipient of this grant and our team is excited to see the positive impacts our services continue to make in our communities!
“Over the past several years, CCBHCs have been instrumental in transforming behavioral health care in their respective communities,” said Miriam Delphin-Rittmon, Ph.D., HHS Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use at SAMHSA. “But we know now that much more support is needed to ensure that everyone who needs help can access care when and where they seek it.”
OUR VISION AS A CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC:
1. Improve overall consumer health through integrated care which includes mental health and physical health.
2. Improve access to quality care
3. Consistently utilize evidence-based practices
