Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
Mental health needs for indigent individuals are unmet in most communities, including this one. Of particular need and considered critical to this community are (1) medical administration services to indigent consumers who are chronically mentally ill; (2) mental health counseling services to indigent families; (3) support for costs of psychotropic drugs for indigent consumers; (4) support for costs of dental needs for chronically mentally ill residential consumers not otherwise covered by Medicaid or other State of Florida funding (there are no Medicaid dental providers in this community); (5) vision care for chronically mentally ill residential consumers where consumers are not otherwise covered by Medicaid or other State of Florida funding. |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Chronic mentally ill consumers would experience a decrease in jail incarcerations. Level of care would be contained, reducing expensive inpatient care. Consumers and consumer families would experience an enhanced family quality of life. Essential dental care will meet unmet needs in a residential population, enhancing general health of a dependent population. Vision care will provide necessary tests and glasses to the same dependent population. |
