Cottage Health 2020 Culture Audit

Supplemental Materials Video : Listening Tour Population Health Supports Other Non-Profits with Grants and Collaboration NEW: Cottage’s Community Partnership Grants Program is supporting the Behavioral Health Initiative. This initiative provides funds to local health nonprofits to expand and/or enhance existing behavioral health programs or services. Specifically, funds are to be used to integrate programs or services into new areas or settings (e.g., schools, primary care, community settings, etc.). Behavioral health was identified as the top priority area from Cottage’s Community Health Needs Assessment and listening tour. As part of an initiative-level approach, grantees are implementing and measuring progress toward shared outcomes. Grantees collaborate with one or more community organizations in their program or service area. Grantees also receive evaluation support through in-person and virtual workshops, peer learning, and one-on-one technical assistance, all of which is intended to foster collaboration and alignment of goals and shared outcomes. 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 35/119 Start | Contents | Highlights | Business Description | Hiring & Welcoming | Inspiring | Speaking | Listening | Thanking | Developing | Caring | Celebrating | Sharing • Business Description 6.21
