Diversus Health Inc Group Return

Diversus Health was awarded a $3.7 million two-year samhsa grant. Grant money was used to reinstate the unity house clubhouse program, add additional rn care managers, establish a more robust care coordination program that includes peer support services, support mobile crisis response to local area schools, establish high-quality telehealth services, and support our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts across the organization. Program goals for the first year of the grant were more than doubled. The goal was to serve 340 adults and 85 children, but we served 875 adults and 223 children. The Colorado spirit team transitioned into the community outreach team. Since the transition, they have had 46 warmline calls, 54 individual encounters, 79 groups, and held 10 events. They made 217 contacts with unique partners in el paso, teller, and park counties to adults and seniors, youth and schools, military, and other community resource groups. They have seen 459 people at events such as resource fairs, crisis responses, farmer's markets, and back to school and other school events. They provided 9 evidence-based trainings on mental Health and suicide prevention to 113 individuals between april and june alone, while other trainings touched 1,985 people by teaching resiliency skills to other businesses and non-profits, higher education, and local government staff. The acute treatment unit (atu) and crisis center were redesigned to address inefficiencies of the system. The reflow moved clients through the system faster, and improved efficiency by up to 80%. The behavioral Health administration stated our facilitiy was one of the nicest they have seen in the state of Colorado.
