Revised 081808 Page 3 [Document C, 4 of 5 pages) Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grant (MHT SIG) U/uakupu Awards - Community Grants Program Proposal Narrative 1. Give a description of the organization, its history and accomplishments, decision-making process, organizational structure, and development of new and diverse leadership. The Big Island Task Force on Criminal Justice was originally formed in the early 1980s to address the overcrowding at Hawaii Community Correctional Center. It was discovered that the pre-trial population represented a substantial number of inmates -with a large percentage of that population awaiting the completion of mental examinations. Then Public Defender Francis Akamine resolved the issue by conducting workshops on the legal process and procedures. In the 1990s the overcrowding became an issue again -and once again, those pending mental examinations were in noticeable numbers at HCCC. Also present in glaring numbers were female inmates. In 2000, the Hawaii Symposium on Women Offenders was presented - attendees came from California and Washington State to learn what Hawaii had to say. In 2000, the 704 Handbook Committee was formed to look at the 704 processes and procedure. In 2003, the Committee wrote and received SAM HSA grant to fund the first Jail Diversion Program in the State of Hawaii -the Hawaii County Jail Diversion Program. The Task Force is a collaborative effort from folks within and outside of the criminal justice system - police, prosecutors, probation and the courts; also'included in the collaboration is The Department.of:; Health's"Adult 1.Mental'Health'Division;"Wotkforcd Development Division Hawaii CommunitirCOE&I and the County of Hawaii Mayors Office. The Adult Mental Health Division has taken leadership with the Jail Diversion Program; Workforce Development and Mayor's Office have directed the Re-entry Initiatives and the Hawaii Community College has worked with HCCC to develop and implement educational programs. The 704 Handbook Committee has presented several workshops dealing with the legal process and procedures. In 2007, service providers and consumers were invited to participate. Consumers touched the hearts of participants by sharing their experiences. Service providers shared their roles in the 704 process. Feedback was positive and requests were for more workshops and the inclusion of police and first line responders. 2. Describe your target population, including information you feel will help the reviewers understand the nature of your intervention (i.e. age, gender, socioeconomic needs, geographic residence, other unique circumstances or characteristics, etc.). 'We 'are targeting professionals Who'interface'and work with'SPMhconsumers'and typically do not get::-: training mfhe course'of theirwork"These professionals 'includea Judges;attorneys; police; parole <and,;�: p�ibatioh`staff, correctional center staff, first responders, hospital staff, adultprotective services staff Also targeted are SPMI consumers who are in the jail diversion and conditional release populations. According to the GAINS Center Strategic Analysis Workshop (11/28/07), "Arrests and subsequent incarceration of many persons with mental illness could be circumvented if the arresting officer has P.,Ac.ri nQ 1 Rnk Page 4 Anolication Packet [Document C, S of 5 pages] access to data that would direct him/her to send the consumer for treatment." This is a GPRA training activity. Please see attachment, Hawaii County Jail Diversion. This is a summary of the Jail Diversion clients served since 2003 until August 2008. The Office of Social Ministry formed a transitional housing program in Hilo, called Ponohawai'ola. This transitional housing provides support for inmates returning to the community from incarceration. During the first year, half of the people who went through the program were determined eligible for AMHD services. During the current year, 67% of the returning inmates were found eligible for AMHD services. It is not known if these people were placed in prison and the experience of being in prison kindled an already existing SPMI diagnosis or if they could have been made eligible for AMHD services prior to arrest or sentencing. However, it underlines the importance and need forjail diversion and conditional release activities. Describe the specific work for which funding is being requested and what problems, needs or opportunity this request addresses. Clearly identify the goals and objectives. Description of project or program, goals, planned activities and strategies: • Evaluation and assessment of current responses (baseline data) — by end of 2008 calendar year. • Identification of current issues as seen by responders and consumers • Plan of action based on assessment — by end of January 2009. • Training for supervisory and line staff: initial Trainings — May 2009 Follow -Up Annual Trainings addressing feedback and issues brought up by Quarterly Surveys conducted quarterly. • Quarterly Surveys (follow ups —feedback on how this has improved the participant's work with the SPMI consumer, participant recommendations to create a feedback loop for future training and workshops) August, November, February, and March (for life of project) • Development of collaborative relationships amongst participants — these professionals include: Judges, attorneys, police, parole and probation staff, correctional center staff, first responders, hospital staff, adult protective services staff, mental health professionals. • Development of One- and Three -Year plans to address problems and maintain gains. 4. Identify the activities to accomplish the objectives and the goals. Assign a GPRA (Government Performance Result Act) indicator, if applicable. GPRA Indicator #2: Increase the number of persons in the mental health care and related workforce who have been trained in service improvements recommended by the CMHP. Goal: Our goal is to create an organic process by which people that do not treat SPMI consumers, but in the course of their work may interact with them, become more knowledgeable and sensitive to mental illness and the related stigma. [Document C, 6 of 5 pages] This project will target different professionals from the aforementioned groups to facilitate an understanding of each other's roles and responsibilities within the system while fostering team building across Hawaii County. Participants will gain transferable skills in managing SPMI consumers in crisis, and will collaborate to integrate systems interactions to provide seamless services for SPMI consumers, and transform the way they interact with the SPMI population.
