Trillium Juvenile Justice Psychological Assessment and Evaluation Network
Trillium Health Resources is the LME/MCO for individuals with substance use, mental illness, and intellectual/developmental disabilities in 28 counties in eastern NC. Trillium’s mission is transforming lives and building community well-being through partnership and proven solutions. We help every community and individual we serve to reach their fullest potential. By coordinating care across multiple systems, we achieve improved health outcomes, quality of care, and efficient use of resources. Trillium remains focused on delivering the right services, in the right amount, at the right time.
Trillium Health Resources is developing a Network for the independent assessment and evaluation of justice involved youth. We are inviting local licensed psychologist to conduct comprehensive clinical evaluations including when needed psychological testing for youth ages 6-17 years old that are referred from juvenile court services. This request seeks to address gaps in care for youth being referred. Trilliums goal is for this population to have access to a valid, reliable and comprehensive evaluation to determine the best services for these youth given appropriate diagnoses, treatment and placement recommendations. Flexibility and timely responsiveness in scheduling appointments and completion of documentation and reports are both essential. Duties include completing comprehensive clinical evaluations, consulting with juvenile court counseling staff, school staff, psychiatrists, social services, and other agencies as needed, attending required meetings and trainings, writing reports, and providing emergency risk assessments for youth who are being seen at the Division of Juvenile Justice office to determine if that youth poses a safety threat to themselves or others. Applications will be considered from NC Licensed Psychologists (LP) and Licensed Psychological Associates (LPA). Trillium intends to work with Psychologist to cover all costs associated with this work.
Priority Consideration:
Overall the rate of referrals to juvenile court and suspensions from school have declined over recent years, however the disparity between minority and nonminority referrals and suspensions has largely remained unchanged, evidencing multi-systemic problems with disproportionate minority contacts, juvenile court referrals and school suspensions. To that end, Trillium Health Resources is particularly interested in providers that seek to work with the population of youth and the adults having authority over them in the home, school and community environments who are disproportionally impacted by involvement across multiple agencies. The willingness to provide services onsite or in close proximity to the county juvenile justice services office location is preferred.
Application Submission Requirements:
Psychologist and Licensed Psychological Associates interested in this work please email Cindy Ehlers at Cindy.Ehlers@TrilliumNC.org for this recruitment and put RFI for Psychologist in the subject line.
Trillium is accepting proposals to support opioid remediation programs throughout the 28 county coverage area. These funds are restricted to the following uses:
- To purchase low-cost naloxone and other supplies like lock boxes and distribute them free of charge to harm reduction programs located in the 28 counties covered by Trillium for the purpose of reducing the number of opioid-related overdoses and deaths.
- To purchase all forms of medications approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of opioid use disorder and distribute them free of charge to jails located in the 28 county coverage area.
- To fund community-based opioid treatment programs located in the 28 counties that provide opioid agonist treatment or facilitate the provision of opioid agonist treatment from other providers.
- To purchase equipment for local opioid use disorder treatment programs located in the 28 counties to enable rapid analysis of opioids and other drugs causing overdose and overdose related deaths.
Trillium is focused on increasing health equity and will prioritize funding in counties that are Tier I and programs operated by historically underutilized providers. Tier I counties include Columbus, Bladen, Jones, Hyde, Tyrrell, Washington, Martin, Bertie, Pasquotank, Chowan, Hertford, Northampton, Halifax and Nash. Trillium will focus resources on programs that address marginalized populations to include the uninsured and underinsured, people with disabilities, black, indigenous or people of color and areas that experience health care disparities throughout our 28 covered counties.
Trillium is requesting proposals from our counties, community partners, healthcare providers, schools and universities, and faith based communities to provide these options to the people who live, work and play in our 28 counties. Interested parties should submit a proposal that follows the above funding restrictions to Cindy.Ehlers@TrilliumNC.org and in the subject line include, RE: Opioid Remediation Request for Funding by February 28, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.
Please include the following in your written proposal:
- Specific county or counties or cities within the Trillium’s 28 counties that you will support
- Specific area(s) in 1-4 (above) that you are requesting funding. If you are requesting funding of medications for jails please include a letter of support from the local sheriff.
- Please also include the amount of funding you are requesting along with information supporting estimates. For example, if you are going to propose that you will purchase 500 Naloxone kits or other supplies and distribute them free of charge include an estimate for the number of naloxone kits (or other supplies) and the estimated price from the vendor you plan to use.
- If you are going to purchase equipment for local opioid treatment programs that enable rapid analysis of opioids and other drugs causing overdose related deaths please attach the estimate from the vendor for the equipment.
DUE Febraury 28, 2023
Trillium has been allocated $251,792 in Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SAPTBG) funds by DMH/DD/SAS on a one-time basis for nicotine replacement therapy for uninsured individuals in substance use disorder treatment settings, so they experience no barriers to accessing evidence-based treatment for nicotine withdrawal.
The funding can be used for the following:
- Coordinating with a vendor to provide over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) to provider organizations to be kept onsite for uninsured patients with substance use disorder receiving the following services, including, but not limited to facility-based crisis, non-hospital medical detox, detox social setting, supervised living- low, supervised living- moderate, group living- low, group living- medium, group living high, and substance abuse halfway houses.
- Ensuring there are no barriers to accessing medications by promoting the utilization of NRT medications in the abovementioned settings, as well as utilization of Quitline services. Promotion includes, but is not limited to:
- Educating providers about how to access NRT for members, offering or promoting training in evidence-based tobacco use treatment for staff, educating provider agencies on connecting clients with Quitline services for additional support and medications.
- Working with inpatient and residential settings to ensure standing orders or doctor’s orders from referring providers are in place in both inpatient and residential settings, so that there is no gap between a patient developing nicotine withdrawal and receiving adequate medication to treat that withdrawal. NC DHHS’ standing order that allows pharmacists to dispense NRT is a useful example of an evidence-based algorithm for dosing over-the-counter combination NRT through a standing order. o In residential settings, NRT provided through these funds is meant to serve as a bridge to treat nicotine withdrawal until the patient is connected to another community source (such as QuitlineNC, a local health department, etc.).
- Meet with or communicate with DMH/DD/SAS and DPH staff as needed to troubleshoot any problems with providers or patients accessing NRT.
- Submit a semi-annual demographic report with age, gender, race, and ethnicity data for on or around January 20 and July 20 of each year of the funding.
- Monitor expenditure of these funds and work with DMH/DD/SAS and Division of Public Health (DPH) staff to reallocate funds as necessary to ensure funds are spent cost effectively and maximize access to nicotine replacement therapy for members.
Eligible providers must have be a non-profit and have a contract with Trillium Health Resources. Please send any questions about NRT funding applications to Dana Painter at Dana.Painter@TrilliumNC.org.
