About this grant
Untreated mental health conditions among children, youth, and birthing people are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and long-term system costs. Often, primary care and other community health settings are the entry point for initial presentation of concern, or for starting mental health treatment, though these frontline clinicians are not trained in assessment and treatment of these conditions. This procurement is to operate the New York State Psychiatry Access Program, known as Project TEACH, to provide expert psychiatric training and consultative support to prescribers and other mental health clinicians who serve as front line support to our communities for the next 5 years. Started in 2010, Project TEACH has helped address the demand in mental health care in the state by providing real-time psychiatric consultation, professional education and training on evidence-based practices, and provider referral support to frontline staff across primary care, specialty, and community settings statewide. Project TEACH educates providers such as obstetricians, family physicians, pediatricians and psychiatrists to assess and treat mental health conditions within their scope of practice and has strengthened the capacity of non-mental health clinicians serving children and adolescents to identify, assess, and treat mental health concerns. In 2018, Project TEACH added maternal mental health services and further added perinatal services for all professionals who work with pregnant or postpartum individuals and their families last year. Clinicians and providers of all healthcare specialties, especially in rural areas, are facing workforce challenges, while seeing increased needs in the individuals they serve. Further, stakeholders have reported that mental health professionals have struggled with assessment and treatment for complex and/or co-occurring conditions. Feedback received from the Project TEACH Advisory Councils, other OMH Divisions and community providers who have used Project TEACH services have demonstrated that consultation services are a valuable source of support to providers. This procurement is to operate Project TEACH as described below and in accordance with the Scope of Work outlined in Section 5. One award in the amount of $5,000,000, for each of five years (2027-2031) will be allocated contingent upon continued availability of State appropriations, to continue Project TEACH services.
