Location: 105AB

Unrestricted Education Sponsor

This presentation describes an important 2024 White Paper by the NCMW Medical Director's Institute. Nationwide, two important BH system activities are coming together: States building on 988 implementation to create comprehensive crisis systems, (See: Roadmap to the Ideal Crisis System and 2025 released SAMHSA Crisis System Guidelines) AND states engaged in CCBHC implementation grants to use PPS to enhance their service continuums. This workshop describes how CCBHCs provide crisis services, are partners and leaders in state/local crisis systems, and (with state collaboration) use PPS to invest in workforce and infrastructure with federal match, providing state/local examples to guide implementation.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will explore how CCBHCs can play an important role, not only in delivering enhanced services, but as partners and leaders in their state and local crisis systems.
Participants will describe specific ways in which CCBHC planning, including prospective payment systems, can contribute to enhanced capacity in state and local crisis systems, to gain maximum impact with limited resources statewide.
Participants will list specific activities they can take home to use to improve the alignment of CCBHC planning/funding and crisis system planning/funding in their state and/or local crisis systems
