Cottage Health 2020 Culture Audit

Cottage Health’s Grants and Collaborations to Local Nonprofits NEW: Cottage Health is proud to offer financial and collaborative support to other local nonprofits working to care for those in our community. This year, that includes: • Center for Successful Aging (CSA) CareLine Telephone Reassurance Program - $25,000 Partners: Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara & Doctors Assisting Seniors at Home (DASH) This program assists seniors who are low-income and homebound by providing daily check-in phone calls to help prevent isolation. CSA is expanding services to target seniors with chronic physical and mental health conditions through referrals from Cottage Health, DASH, CenCal Health, and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara. Outcomes include a reduction in hospital readmissions, decreased use of the emergency department, and increased connections to behavioral health services, such as peer counseling programs. • Child Abuse Listening Mediation (CALM) Santa Barbara Resiliency Project - $100,000 Partner: Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics (SBNC), UCSB This program screens all families with children ages 0-3 years old at Goleta Neighborhood Clinic for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). As the largest safety net provider in South Santa Barbara County, SBNC anticipates that at least 37.8% of pediatric patients have experienced two or more ACEs, and mitigation of these ACEs could lead to improved physical and mental health outcomes. Children who present with two or more ACEs or adults who have three or more ACES are offered an intervention to build protective factors by promoting access to community supports and resiliency services. CALM and SBNC are partnering with UCSB to conduct a randomized controlled trial of intervention groups. • Doctors Without Walls- Santa Barbara Street Medicine (DWW) Behavioral Health Services for Unsheltered Populations - $75,550 Partners: Santa Barbara County Behavioral Wellness & Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (CADA) Reaching chronically unsheltered populations, this program assesses patients for psychosis through outreach at park clinics, the Women’s Free Homeless Clinic, street rounds, and mobile medical van rounds. Appropriate patients receive a seven-day course of low dose Risperdal, an antipsychotic medication, and connect with DWW Companion Care staff to help access on-going care at Santa Barbara County Behavioral Wellness. Additionally, at the Women’s Free Homeless Clinic, the program adds a licensed mental health professional to provide direct behavioral health services, and CADA provides weekly therapeutic counseling groups. • Family Service Agency (FSA) School-Based Mental Health (Expanded) - $100,000 Partner: Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD) This program expands school-based counseling to high schools, as previously therapeutic counseling only took place in elementary schools and one junior high school. FSA therapists provide mental- health assessment services, weekly school-based therapeutic counseling, and referrals to school and community-based interventions. Receiving referrals from SBUSD guidance counselors, teachers and administrators, therapists assess students and determine the right course of action for each individual—social-emotional counseling, drug and/or alcohol counseling, weekly therapeutic counseling, or treatment-indicated intervention by a medical doctor. 116/119 Start | Contents | Highlights | Business Description | Hiring & Welcoming | Inspiring | Speaking | Listening | Thanking | Developing | Caring | Celebrating | Sharing • Sharing 6.35
