COMPLEX BEHAVIOR COLLABORATIVE CONSULTATION AND TRAINING PROVIDER AGREEMENTProvider Agreement • May 15th, 2015
Whether the individual is a person in API with co-occurring developmental and mental health issues, an elderly person in Pioneer Homes with dementia or a developmentally disabled inmate with a serious mental illness, one common characteristic is aggressive behavior that cannot be managed in the community. At the community level, Alaska service providers may lack the necessary skills and continuum of supports to safely and adequately serve these complex needs. The goal of this project is to build capacity, build expertise within the State and provide services at the community level, thereby preventing and/or reducing hospitalization and institutional care.
COMPLEX BEHAVIOR COLLABORATIVE CONSULTATION AND TRAINING PROVIDER AGREEMENTProvider Agreement • April 2nd, 2012
Disabilities Services, Behavioral Health, the Governor’s Council on Disabilities and Special Education, and the Alaska Mental Health Board), in partnership with the Department of Corrections, and the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority, contracted in 2009 with the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) for consultation to explore options to meet the needs of a difficult to serve sub-population that crosses division and department boundaries as represented by the partnering agencies named above. This sub-population may exhibit maladaptive behaviors that are frequently dangerous and possibly life-threatening. These behaviors are often complicated by medical or mental health factors. The result is behavior that escalates to a crisis level. Due to the lack of community capacity, the only care available may be found in a hospital emergency department, Alaska Psychiatric Institue (API), or in out-of-state Intermediate Care Facililty for the Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR).
