About the Program
The Community and Public
Psychiatry Division include the “Public Academic Liaison
(PAL) Program,” a county-based clinical service and teaching
program; the state-supported “Mental Health Executive
Leadership Program,” a year-long business and administration
training program for mental health professionals; and
the annual “All-Ohio Institute on Community Psychiatry,”
a multidisciplinary continue education event dedicated
to community mental health services.
All-Ohio Institute on Community Psychiatry
The “All-Ohio Institute” was initiated
in 1995 as a “payback” for an earlier ODMH grant: Conceived
as a statewide celebration of community mental health
services, this biennial continuing education event continues
to be highly successful. This year’s program entitled
“Beyond Evidence: Trauma, Treatment, Resiliency and Recovery”
was held March 18-19 at the Hilton Cleveland East. .
Northcoast Behavioral Healthcare (NBH)
NBH is comprised of the former Cleveland
Psychiatric Institute (now “NBH North”) Western Reserve
(now “NBH South”) in Sagamore Hills, and the Toledo State
Hospitals (“NBH-West”), administratively combined by the
Ohio Department of Mental Health under the clinical leadership
of faculty member Dr. Douglas Smith. NBH is a key player
in our public collaborations in the areas of chronic mental
illness and psychoses, addiction, forensic, geriatric
and community psychiatry. Northcoast is an active participant
in medical student and residency education, and in continuing
education as the host of one of our three weekly Grand
Rounds series and of an acclaimed annual Schizophrenia
conference, and is a training site for Forensic and Addiction
Psychiatry fellows.
The Ohio SAMI CCOE
The Ohio Substance Abuse and Mental Illness
Coordinating Center of Excellence is funded by the Ohio
Department of Mental Health (ODMH). It is one of a limited
number of such ODMH state-wide Centers in Ohio whose function
is to increase the utilization of evidence-based practices
and service delivery mechanisms in Ohio’s public mental
health system.
The Ohio SAMI CCOE is focused on the provision
of education, dissemination, and research to mental health
and substance abuse programs implementing the New Hampshire/Dartmouth
Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) model, developed
by Dr. Robert Drake and colleagues, for practice and service
delivery with adults who have a co-occurring mental health
and substance abuse disorder. This model has been endorsed
by ODMH as the treatment model of choice for this population.
The goals of the SAMI CCOE are to provide
and coordinate: 1) clinical training for service delivery,
2) clinical consultation in service delivery; 2) administrative
consultation on IDDT program design and implementation;
and 3) to conduct research assessing program fidelity,
model adaptations, and outcomes for dually diagnosed consumers
and their families.
