AI Summary
The NYS Office of Mental Health offers funding to expand the HealthySteps program, supporting pediatric and family medicine practices to provide mental health and developmental services to children 0-3 years old. Up to 38 awards totaling $18.4M over five years aim to increase access statewide, focusing on prevention and trauma-informed care.
The New York State (NYS) Office of Mental Health (OMH) announces the availability of funds to support the expanded implementation of HealthySteps (HS). It is anticipated that OMH will make up to 38 awards across the state, contingent upon availability of funding. This funding is specifically designated for new sites, with the goal to expand the capacity of pediatric and family medicine practices to implement HealthySteps, prioritizing statewide access across counties without existing HealthySteps sites as well as at risk areas as determined by higher percent of births covered by Medicaid or self-pay. The combined total of these awards will be up to $18,420,462 distributed over five (5) years. In 2016, OMH first awarded HealthySteps funding to pediatric primary care practices, and since that time, comprehensive services have been provided to tens of thousands of young children and their families across New York State as part of the program. This Request for Applications (RFA) will provide the opportunity to expand this reach to even more children and their families throughout NYS as we continue to work towards enhancing protective factors to foster childhood resiliency, promoting a trauma-informed approach to care, screening for depression of birthing persons, and addressing the deleterious effects of the social determinants of mental health for children and families. This RFA, part of New York State’s historic investment to strengthen the mental health system and drastically reduce the number of individuals with unmet mental health needs throughout the state, clearly demonstrates OMH’s ongoing commitment to primary prevention and the health and well-being of the youngest New Yorkers. The goal is to ultimately promote an intentional focus on prevention activities by identifying and implementing evidence-based programs and data-informed strategies that are universally accessible. HealthySteps is an evidence-based program that delivers dyadic services to both young children (0-3 years) and their families in a pediatric healthcare setting, which is non-stigmatizing and offers universal access. Pediatricians often serve as the initial point of contact for new caregivers. Typically, an infant has seven (7) well-child visits within the first year of life, often occurring before families have contact with any other service system. This early access allows the youngest children to integrate mental health and physical well-being at a critical time in brain development. It also allows the HealthySteps Specialist to support the healthcare team in promoting the child’s developmental, social-emotional, and behavioral health. A HealthySteps Specialist uses a two-generation approach to promote well-being and to address concerns about challenging behaviors, developmental delays, caregiver mental health, and family needs such as food and housing instability. The HealthySteps model offers the ability to instill preventative efforts through anticipatory guidance, which may enhance positive outcomes and prevent future mental health challenges. The HealthySteps model’s preventative efforts are promoted through a HealthySteps Specialist, a professional with expertise in child development who partners with families during well-child visits as part of the primary care team. The HealthySteps Specialist fulfills a variety of roles: Serving as a liaison between the child and family and the healthcare team, offering screenings and support that the physician may lack time to address, including feeding, behavior, sleep, attachment, depression, social determinants of health, and adjusting to the complexities of caring for a newborn child. The HealthySteps Specialist also provides families with parenting/caregiver guidance, support between pediatric visits, referrals, and care coordination, all the while ensuring that the child and family’s needs are identified, addressed, and ultimately met.
