Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Mental Health Center of Denver
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Denver Wellness Court seeks to provide an efficient, judicially supervised, accountable, and systemic process to address mental health, substance use, and the success and recovery for persons involved in the criminal justice system with high levels of need. Participants are accepted into the Wellness Court program after meeting both legal and clinical criteria, as established by the Wellness Court Steering Committee.
Services are to be delivered through a dedicated, forensic-oriented MHCD clinical case management team comprised of case managers, therapists, and including a prescriber. The case management team will have criminal justice-specific training, such as criminogenic risk factors, sequential intercept model, Thinking for Change, Moral Reconation Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for criminality; high levels of competence providing wraparound services; and advanced Motivational Interviewing training. Ideally, the team serving this population would be working toward high fidelity to the ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) model.
Services include but are not limited to case management, wraparound services, connection to individual and group therapy, access and connection to a prescriber, referrals and connection to appropriate housing, and referral and connection to other supports such as substance use treatment, medical appointments, etc.
Denver Wellness Court funds will be used to assist in providing and/or obtaining housing and wraparound services, including medical and/or dental expenses not covered by Medicaid or other insurance, for at least 40 court-referred participants. Funds may only be used for persons participating in the Denver Wellness Court.
