Expanding Access to and Use of Behavioral Health Services for People Experiencing Homelessness

ebrc feb 2 materials now available

Hosted in collaboration with SAMHSA and Abt Associates, this video recording highlights findings from SAMHSA's guide, Expanding Access to and Use of Behavioral Health Services for People Experiencing Homelessness. Wait times for placement into permanent housing can range from a few months to several years, and longer periods of homelessness are associated with lower rates of recovery and higher rates of psychiatric distress. The period prior to moving into stable housing is therefore an important window to offer services, and one that requires multi-system coordination. This recorded webinar provides an overview of the SAMHSA guide and includes presentations from four organizations that are currently using the evidence-based practices featured in this guide to support mental health and substance use needs among individuals experiencing homelessness.
