  17. County Led Initiatives for Single Entry Point • Douglas County • Larimer County • Eagle County

  18. Douglas County • In 2014, in relation to a series of tragic events in the community, Douglas County began the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative (DMCHI). • Partnership of over 40 organizations committed to finding solutions to provide effective, coordinated behavioral health and substance use services for all community members. • Developed a model and blueprint for implementing a countywide mental health care delivery system. The model is community- driven and aims to improve services and resources available to all populations across the behavioral health continuum • Overall, the goals of the blueprint are to: (1) create a networked system of care ; (2) rebrand mental health and substance use; (3) develop programs and interventions to address current gaps ; (4) work on policy and systems improvements; and (5) develop the workforce.

  19. Eagle County • Between 2014 and 2018, Eagle County saw local emergency department visits for anxiety and depression increase by 465 percent, suicides rise by 183 percent over three years (2016-18), and the percentages of 7 th and 8 th graders who felt sad or hopeless for two or more weeks rise by 63 percent from 2011 to 2017. The county saw that their behavioral health system was failing its citizens and undertook a mapping process that would inform a collaborative transformation of the behavioral health system. • The main goals of the transformation plan are: (1) build a cross functional behavioral health facility ; (2) expand behavioral health provider access and capacity; (3) develop system coordination /transformation; (4) expand prevention and education efforts; (5) integrate crisis response and transition services ; and (6) expand and enhance school based behavioral health services.

  20. Larimer County • County put out a community master strategic plan that outlines the changes that need to take place over the next 20 years to create a comprehensive behavioral health system. The plan follows a three-pronged approach: • Expand and enrich local behavioral health services across the County; • Facilitate connections between community-based services with service/providers in a centralized facility providing a stronger care coordination system and building transition bridges across providers and services in and outside of the facility; and • Build a regional behavioral health facility to provide coordinated care and crisis ser vices.

  21.
