In support of its mission to end preventable syndemics, achieve equity, fight stigma and promote health, the New York State Department of Health, AIDS Institute, Office of the Medical Director announces the availability of New York State funds intended to reduce disparities and advance equity in access to HIV biomedical prevention by planning and implementing a community-driven public health campaign to increase Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness and uptake among people most at risk for acquiring HIV. The intent of the Request for Applications (RFA) is to fund one (1) agency at an annual amount of $243,000 for five (5) years. Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has been demonstrated to reduce HIV acquisition by greater than 90% and has become the cornerstone of New York State's Ending the Epidemic (ETE) effort. PrEP is clinically recommended for individuals, including adolescents who are assessed or who self-identify as being at increased risk of acquiring HIV through sexual or injection drug exposure. The options available for PrEP continue to expand. PrEP candidates participate in shared decision-making with their providers to identify regimens and dosing preferences that optimize adherence and protection. The annual PrEP Aware Campaign is a key strategy to promote HIV PrEP awareness and uptake in people most at risk for acquiring HIV.

The New York State (NYS) Office of Mental Health (OMH) announces the availability of funds for the development of one (1) 68-capacity Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) team in Bronx County. The Forensic ACT team will serve individuals who are justice-involved and have serious mental illness (SMI) who have not been successfully engaged by the traditional mental health treatment and rehabilitation system. ACT is a multidisciplinary, evidence-based, team approach to providing comprehensive and flexible treatment, support, and rehabilitation services. ACT teams are configured to have a low individual-to-staff ratio with professional staff including members from the fields of psychiatry, nursing, psychology, social work, substance use, employment/education, and peers/persons with lived experience. The majority of services are provided by ACT staff directly (not brokered) in the community or where the individual lives. In this way, newly acquired skills are applied in their real-world environment and situations. ACT is designed to be flexible and responsive to the needs of individuals, offering support 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week. ACT is ¿assertive¿ and intentional in its engagement methods, incorporating individual choice, cultural competencies, concrete services, consistency, and persistence. Finally, ACT is structured to provide a review during daily team meetings of every individual on the ACT team¿s caseload. This level of accountability allows for immediate changes in service planning and leads to improved outcomes. ACT teams strive to develop a culturally sensitive understanding of each ACT participant and their family¿s personal preferences (i.e., preferred pronoun, spiritual practices). Additionally, ACT teams take social determinants of health into account as they are domains likely to have inherent disparities (healthcare access, housing, employment status, food security). The ACT teams provide on-going opportunities for participants to share their culture with others. ACT staff elicits and accepts participants¿ personal religious or spiritual practices and leverages this information to support self-directed recovery goals. Forensic ACT builds on the evidence-based model of ACT by making adaptations based on criminal justice involvement¿in particular, addressing risk and protective factors associated with arrest and recidivism. Forensic ACT is intended for individuals with SMI who are involved with the criminal justice system. These individuals may have co-occurring substance use and physical health disorders, trauma histories, engagement difficulties, and behavioral challenges. Their needs are often complex, and their disorders are often under-managed and further complicated by varying degrees of involvement with the criminal justice system. Similar to ACT, Forensic ACT provides services that are person-centered, community- based, and delivered by a multidisciplinary team. These services include intensive, continuous engagement. While Forensic ACT adds program enhancements to meet the needs of the population who are justice-involved with SMI, providers should always strive to meet the fidelity to the ACT model. Forensic ACT is designed to: improve clients¿ mental health outcomes and daily functioning; reduce recidivism by addressing risk and supporting protective factors associated with arrest and recidivism; divert individuals in need of treatment away from the criminal justice system; manage costs by reducing reoccurring arrest, incarceration, and hospitalization; and increase public safety. The new Forensic ACT team will provide traditional ACT services, as well as specialized services to reduce risk factors associated with arrest, recidivism, and recurring involvement with the criminal justice system, including probation, parole, and incarcerations. The expansion of Forensic ACT represents a commitment by the NYS OMH to develop specialized Forensic ACT teams that are designed to better meet the needs of the SMI population who are involved in the criminal justice system. As this expansion moves forward, there are several principles from classic ACT, as well as principles specific to Forensic ACT that inform the overall process. Please read the RFP document for full information and funding details.

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. Please see RFP document for full details and funding information.

The New York State (NYS) Office of Mental Health (OMH) announces the availability of funds to support the expanded implementation of the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) in obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) and family medicine practices across New York State. CoCM is the most evidence-based model for integrating behavioral health into physical health care with over 100 randomized control trials from the last two (2) decades of implementation. 1 CoCM builds behavioral health capacity in primary care by enhancing the team with support from a Psychiatric Consultant and a Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM). With specialized behavioral health training, the BHCM provides brief evidence-based behavioral health treatment and supports medication management. The BHCM is the lead contact for the patient and provides treatment-to-target care with regular use of symptom monitoring tools. Patient status is communicated to the physical health provider and reviewed with the psychiatric consultant regularly to inform changes to treatment. CoCM leads to significantly better clinical outcomes, greater patient and provider satisfaction and improved functioning for patients with behavioral health needs. In the perinatal population, implementation of CoCM is associated with increased perinatal depression screening and treatment from obstetric clinicians, and reduced depression in this population. 2 Implementation of CoCM is also associated with reduction in racial disparities in perinatal depression care, with significant differences by race in antenatal depression screen and treatment recommendations after CoCM. 3 NYS OMH currently provides comprehensive training and technical assistance to practices implementing CoCM. In 2015, NYS became the first state to provide Medicaid reimbursement for CoCM. In 2018, CMS began paying for the service and Commercial plans followed, making it reimbursable across payers in NYS. To date, comprehensive behavioral health services have been provided to tens of thousands of NYS Medicaid patients. There are now more than 430 physical health practices providing CoCM, eligible for Medicaid reimbursement. Data from these practices is congruent with the RCT outcomes, with a consistent programmatic average of about 50 percent of patients achieving clinical improvement in PHQ/GAD score after 70 days in treatment. Real-time data from OBGYN practices in NYS that provide CoCM report an average of 78 percent of patients received an annual depression screen with a standardized tool. This is significantly more consistent than the usual care data. The Medicaid Perinatal Care study that showed while 63 percent of birthing persons were assessed for depression at an initial visit, just seven (7) percent of those were documented using a standardized screening tool. Mental health conditions are attributed to 23 percent of maternal deaths nationally, and there is a growing body of evidence that demonstrates increased risk for developing psychiatric disorders during the peripartum period. 5 This demands that OBGYN and family practices supporting perinatal birthing persons prioritize behavioral health screening and treatment. CoCM provides the infrastructure needed to provide this care in the physical healthcare space. This Request for Applications (RFA) will provide the opportunity to expand CoCM reach to perinatal birthing persons in NYS as the state continues to prioritize access for birthing persons and infants in at-risk communities. Applicants must identify a primary care or OBGYN practice providing services to perinatal patients that will commit to implement CoCM and participate in the comprehensive training and technical assistance OMH provides, designed to support implementation and sustainability of the model. This model must be implemented in an outpatient setting serving the perinatal population. Inpatient hospital and emergency room locations are not eligible. It is anticipated that OMH will make up to 17 awards across the state, contingent upon funding availability. This funding is specifically designated for sites that are not yet providing CoCM, with the goal to expand the capacity of OBGYN and family medicine practices to support perinatal birthing persons with behavioral health needs. Priority will be given to applicants in counties with no current CoCM presence, as well as at-risk areas, determined by counties with higher-than-average maternal mortality rates and higher percentage of births covered by Medicaid or self-pay. Applicants should not be receiving duplicative financial support for the initial COCM implementation and start up from other sources, including public or private funding. Applicants are expected to support the ongoing program with revenue received from claims. The combined total of these awards will be up to $850,000 distributed to awardees in three payments. (See Section 1.F Operating Funds). Please see the RFP documents for full details and funding information.
