Rochester, N.Y.-based University of Rochester Medical Center and Rochester Regional Health have partnered with Hillside, a Rochester-based provider of community-based services, to launch a care model for youths with complex needs transitioning from hospital to home.
The Next Steps Critical Time Transition Program, based at Hillside’s Monroe Campus, supports youths ages 11-17 through care-management services, transitional residential beds and connections to community care. Hillside is the first agency in New York to admit youths into the initiative, according to a Jan. 21 news release from Hillside.
Funded by the New York State Office of Mental Health, the program includes a community-based critical time intervention team and a transitional residential setting offering 24/7 support for eligible youths for up to 120 days. Community-based services have begun; the residential component will open soon.
The program plans to launch the model across a second location in Erie County, according to the release.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
