SEFBHN will meet quarterly with PSPC to assess the progress and review performance measures and timelines associated with the CJMHSA grant program and make necessary adjustments to the implementation as needed. We will also develop sub- committees that will meet monthly to provide oversight, collaboration and continuous quality improvement as previously Opportunities exist in Indian River County to expand the existing collaborative practices currently implemented between the stakeholder and provider agencies involved in the IRCMHC and the CJMHSA grant in order to increase jail diversion services; in addition, new opportunities exist to initiate and establish collaborative practices with additional community stakeholders and agencies to best serve individuals experiencing behavioral health crises. The relevant stakeholders, including law enforcement, community behavioral health providers, the court system, and public officials, must continue to develop a sentiment of joint ownership of these challenges with the committed intention of pursuing viable means by which to establish expanded remedies. The strategic plan in this grant proposal can work to address the overarching multi-facility and multi-agency "systems" deficiencies by developing tangible solutions that will help keep large numbers of mentally ill and substance impaired individuals who are in crisis out of our jails.
