Impact Full Service Partnership

Integrated Multi-Service Partnership Assertive Community Treatment

Telephone: 415-473-2721
Address: 1682 Novato Blvd., Suite 105, Novato, CA 94947

Program Overview

In recent years, the Marin County Adult System of Care has struggled with an increasing number of individuals with serious mental illness who are in need of more intensive services than those offered by either of the integrated clinics. This plan proposes the addition of a Full Service Partnership specifically targeting those who do not  necessarily fall into the one of the target populations of the current Full Service Partnerships: homeless (Odyssey), Older Adults (HOPE), or involved with the criminal justice system (STAR).

The goals of the Integrated Multi-Service Partnership Assertive Community Treatment (IMPACT) Full Service Partnership will be to promote recovery and self-sufficiency, improve the ability to function independently in the community, reduce homelessness, reduce incarceration, and reduce hospitalization.

Program Description

The IMPACT FSP will provide culturally competent intensive, integrated services to thirty (30) priority population at-risk adults. The program will be strengths-based and focused on recovery and relapse prevention, seeking out participants and serving them wherever they may be. As stated above, the goals of the program are to promote recovery and self-sufficiency, improve the ability to function independently in the community, reduce homelessness, reduce incarceration, and reduce hospitalization.

Following the Assertive Community Treatment model, a diverse multi-disciplinary team will be developed to provide comprehensive “wrap-around” services for individuals in need of the highest level of outpatient services. Staffing will be comprised of mental health clinicians, Peer Specialists, Family Partners, para-professionals, psychiatry and Nurse Practitioners. Services will include comprehensive assessment, individualized client-centered service planning, crisis management,therapy services, peer counseling and support, medication support, psycho-education, employment services, independent living skills training, assistance with money management, and linkages to/provision of all needed services and supports.

Treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders is essential to successful recovery and will be provided on a case-by-case basis. The team will have a pool of flexible funding to purchase needed goods and services (including emergency and transitional housing, medications, and transportation) that cannot be otherwise obtained.

Target Population

The target population of the proposed program is adults, transition age young adults and older adults with serious mental illness, ages 18 and older, which are un-served by the mental health system or are so underserved that they are unable to stabilize in the community without additional support. These individuals may or may not have a co-occurring substance abuse disorder and/or other serious health condition.

Expected Outcomes

Listed in the table below, the expected outcomes are based on the goals of the program. We expect to serve up to forty (40) 18+ year old adults. The data for these measures are obtained from the Full Service Partnership dataset mandated by the State Department of Health Care Services and collected/reported by the program staff on a daily basis. Program staff will explore methods for measuring self-sufficiency and recovery that will permit the program to evaluate its success in these key areas.
