Evidence-Based Practices - Adult Mental Health

The Ethel and James Flinn Foundation's grant program, specifically for Adult Mental Health, emphasizes the implementation of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) in southeast Michigan for adults aged 22 and older. Priority is given to proposals that advance best practice treatment programs, promote early intervention, and enhance cross-system collaboration to address mental health access and outcome inequities. Key areas of focus include:

• Integration of behavioral health care into primary care settings for early intervention.
• Adoption of best practice therapeutic treatment and care coordination models, especially for individuals with complex health needs.
• Development of programs targeting behavioral health improvements for veterans.
• Implementation of best practice models that divert individuals from the criminal justice system into appropriate behavioral health treatment.
• Enhancement of cross-sector collaborations for systemic improvements in behavioral health access, delivery, treatment outcomes, and health equity.
