This Agreement is entered into between Kitsap County Department of Human Services and the City of Bremerton, for Behavioral Health Navigator Services to provide high risk (suicidal persons) and high to moderate utilizers of mental health services with a mental health specialist who works to connect individuals with needed services. These
connections include but are not limited to court diversions, High Utilizer reductions, suicidal outreach and various connections to social service organizations such a drug treatment, adult protective services, and counseling. I. Purpose
This Agreement is for the appropriation of $50,000 for the purpose of augmenting state and federal funding of mental health, chemical dependency and therapeutic court programs and services with the goal of preventing and reducing the impacts of disabling chemical dependency and mental illness by creating and investing in effective, data
driven programs for a continuum of recovery-oriented systems of care per RCW 82.14.460 for the time period January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022. Funding must be used solely for the purpose of providing for the operation or delivery of chemical dependency or mental health treatment programs and services and for the operation or delivery of therapeutic court programs and services. No funding provided under this
contract may be used to supplant existing funding for these programs.
II. Collaboration and Collective Impact
City of Bremerton shall take the initiative to work with other systems to reduce fragmentation or duplication and to strengthen working relationships utilizing collective
impact strategies. City of Bremerton will provide quarterly updates on collaborative efforts and outreach activities that will include issues mutually identified by City of Bremerton and respective systems that can be addressed through collective impact strategies. Examples of such systems include: mental health, veterans, adult protection and welfare, education, criminal justice, housing, employment services, primary health
care plans and other publicly-funded entities promoting substance abuse and mental health services.
All entities providing services to working age adults and youth shall establish a connection with the local WorkSource system to ensure people have access to employment training and placement services.
III. Identification and Coordination of Available Funding Sources
City of Bremerton is required to identify and coordinate all available funding resources to pay for the mental health and chemical dependency services funded by this contract, including Federal (Medicaid and Affordable Care Act, etc.), State, local, private
DocuSign Envelope ID: E6C6195E-2D50-4DE9-844B-16F06315B50E
insurance and other private sources. The 1/10th of 1% funding should be utilized as a Payor of Last Resort.
IV. Project Description This project will provide behavioral health services within the Crisis Intervention level of the continuum of care and addresses the following strategic goals:
• Reduce the number of people in Kitsap County who use costly interventions including hospitals, emergency rooms, and crisis services.
• Reduce the number of people in Kitsap County who recycle through the criminal
justice systems, including jails and prisons.
• Reduce the number of chemically dependent and mentally ill youth and adults from initial or further criminal justice system involvement.
This project will provide for Behavioral Health Navigator Services to provide 110 high utilizers with a mental health specialist who works to connect individuals with needed services. V. Project Activities
The Behavioral Health Navigator Program will provide the Bremerton Police Department with an imbedded mental health specialist who will work to connect individuals with mental health and/or substance use disorders to needed services to reduce law enforcement and emergency services responses. The Navigator will co-respond with
officers and will provide outreach after police contact. The Navigator will act as a liaison between the police and our community partners including the Bremerton Fire Department, attorneys, courts, corrections, and service providers (KMH, DCRs, Salvation Army, housing providers etc.) to provide the best outcomes for the individual. This includes advocating for mental health and drug abuse treatment, jail diversion
programs, housing and continuity of care. The Navigator will meet people where they are located. This includes the Salvation Army, Coffee Oasis, the Police Station, Municipal Court, Jail or at a private residence. If the Navigator is going to a private residence, or if the person they are to meet is known
to be volatile, the Navigator will be accompanied by a police officer for security. The Navigator Program will work with anyone referred to the Navigator by the police department, and occasionally the courts or fire department. As each case and person is different with different needs, the Navigator will work to connect the person to the social
services which may be able to assist that person. This will be accomplished by making a personal contact with the provider and following up to see if the person made the appointment.

VI. Project Design The co-response model of pairing a behavioral health specialist with a police officer is
recognized as an emerging best practice across the country. Co-responder teams fall
into Intercepts 0 and 1 in the commonly used Sequential Intercept Model, a conceptual model to inform community-based responses to the involvement of people with mental and substance use disorders in the criminal justice system.
When law enforcement responds to calls for service involving individuals experiencing a
behavioral health crisis, it is often related to unmet treatment needs, not major crimes or violence. Cities and counties are increasing their use of law enforcement and behavioral health co-responder models, recognizing that many situations cannot be solved by arrest, but instead are best addressed by behavioral health clinicians and
crisis specialists.
At its core, the co-responder framework typically features a specially trained team that includes at least one law enforcement officer and one mental health or substance abuse professional responding jointly to situations in which a behavioral health crisis is likely to
be involved, often in the same vehicle, or arriving on scene at generally the same time.
VII. Project Outcomes and Measurements City of Bremerton will participate in the Evaluation Plan for Treatment Sales Tax
Programs. Programs or services implemented under the Treatment Sales Tax are monitored by the Citizens Advisory Committee. The City of Bremerton will have an evaluation plan with performance measures developed in partnership with Kitsap Public Health District Epidemiologist. The emphasis will be on capturing data at regular intervals that can be used to determine whether Treatment Sales Tax funded
programs met expectations. Some common measures will be identified that will be reported on. Evaluation efforts must include standardized data collection and reporting processes that produce the following types of information:
• Quantity of services (outputs)
• Level of change occurring among participants (outcomes)
• Return-on-investment or cost-benefit (system savings) if evidence-based
• Adherence to the model (fidelity)
• Common measures (to be identified by the Citizens Advisory Committee and Kitsap Public Health District staff that all programs must report on) Data will be collected to monitor the following goals and objectives identified by the Contractor: Goal #1: Work with the court system on diversion and treatment plans as requested
by the courts.
