The PMHP focuses training and technical assistance resources on two DMH programs, Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME) and Full Service Partnerships (FSP) serving individuals 18 years and over. Both programs serve individuals with serious mental illness and both address the challenges of chronic homelessness.
HOME serves disengaged and difficult-to-engage individuals experiencing homelessness who need intensive mental health support to gain housing stability. HOME’s street-based psychiatric teams conduct assertive street-based outreach. PMHP focuses on providing specialized training for HOME team members and has a particular focus on training new street-based psychiatrists. PMHP is collecting data to define the target population, refine triage and enrollment, and identify system-level quality improvement opportunities among partners of the HOME team. PMHP will identify strategies to integrate HOME with generalist outreach teams and provide training on mental health issues to those generalist teams to support integration.
FSP teams are clinic-based, field-capable multidisciplinary teams that provide an intensive level of service to individuals with severe mental illness and other vulnerabilities (e.g., justice-involved, homeless, conserved). PMHP will hire and coordinate the work of 8 Implementation Specialists (one per Service Area) who will work closely with FSP teams to train and coach toward team improvement. PMHP will also sponsor development of a fidelity instrument to build consistence across FSP teams.
