body
Affected Council District(s) or citywide? Citywide
Contract Control Number: 202160835
Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Mental Health Center of Denver
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Approve the contract agreement with Mental Health Center of Denver (MHCD). The STAR Program deploys Emergency Response Teams that include Emergency Medical Technicians and Behavioral Health Clinicians to engage individuals experiencing crises related to mental health issues, poverty, homelessness, and substance abuse. The contract with MHCD will assist in the expansion of this program from its current limited pilot scope to transitioning into a citywide program. This project seeks to: 1) increase the areas of coverage of the STAR Program by increasing the number of Paramedic/Behavioral Health Clinician Teams and 2) increase the effectiveness of the engagements with people in need by providing linkages to short-term assistance and long-term follow-up care. With combined City and Caring4Denver funding, we may be able to increase the number STAR Emergency Response Teams to meet the citywide need. It is estimated that this will lead to (when taking increased transit times and increased demand into account) approximately 10,000 encounters per year. Due to the chronic nature associated with mental health, poverty, homelessness, and/or substance abuse it is assumed that many individual residents will be served multiple times.
