Key Findings and Programmatic Implications: OVC Program Evaluations in Kenya ...MEASURE Evaluation
Program exposure and coverage of key interventions was lower than expected based on registry data. Services targeting one domain, such as children's psychosocial well-being, had unintended effects on other domains. Exposure to multiple interventions showed additive benefits. While some programs improved children's outcomes, guardian outcomes were less consistently affected. Comprehensive HIV education, stigma reduction, and addressing guardians' psychological health and children's legal protection require more focus. Regular monitoring of coverage and participation is needed to improve program implementation and outcomes.

Many of our low-income community members have healthcare coverage through the State’s Medi-Cal program, but how can we help them use these benefits to get the care they need? Often times our families tell us they need help getting dental care or seeing a mental health professional. Other times our families tell us they have had a horrible experience and don’t want to return to the doctor. How do we respond to these experiences?
Healthcare coverage can be difficult to manage for anyone. Among our low-income California residents it’s even more difficult to manage as Medi-Cal coverage can be different for each household member. In this workshop we will be discussing healthcare coverage eligibility for all members of the family that may include immigrant household members. We will be reviewing the benefits available to adults, children, and undocumented family members and the rights people have to request timely, accessible, and quality care. Our session will provide guidance to SBHC staff who work with community members with multiple healthcare needs. The goal is to help attendees identify what types of concerns families are having and how to appropriately guide and refer them to the healthcare resources they need.
In addition, during this session participants will explore existing laws, such as The California Values Act (SB 54) and Safe Schools for Immigrant Students (AB 699) that have the potential to safeguard children and their parents from immigration enforcement. Participants will also get to hear about and engage in a conversation about public charge and the potential changes that can affect immigrant families and access to key services such as health care. Lastly, through the findings of a recent report called Healthy Mind, Healthy Future the group will discuss how immigration related policy changes impact the mental health of children in immigrant families and highlight the important role that schools have on ensuring children can overcome barriers and secure the support they need to thrive.

Mental illness affects all of us
Mental illness impacts the lives of up to 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 5 children. It doesn’t
discriminate. It affects people regardless of race, age, religion or economic status.
Chances are that you or someone you love will be affected by mental illness, substance
abuse, or another behavioral health condition at some point in the future.
People diagnosed with a mental illness typically have chronic physical health problems
too. Due to these chronic conditions, people with a serious mental illness die an average
of 25 years before their time. The cost to society is staggering. An estimated $247 billion
is spent each year on childhood mental disorders alone.
Mental disorders are often the root cause of destructive behaviors such as: substance
abuse, dysfunctional and unstable families, domestic violence, trauma, abuse and
neglect of children, teens and elders; and
even suicide.
Through an integrated medical and behavioral
health model, the Catalina Health Center is
specifically designed to offer innovative,
responsive solutions to this serious health issue
facing our community.

Healing Lives. Whatever It Takes.
For 80 years, the central mission of Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS) has been to
help others. JFCS is a non-sectarian, non-profit behavioral health and social service
agency serving more than 37,000 people in need in Maricopa County regardless of race,
gender, age, ethnicity, religion or income. We strive to restore hope, increase self-
sufficiency and safety, reduce family violence, and help people return to productivity
and contribute back to the community.
As changes in the health care system unfold, JFCS has taken the leadership to establish
the Catalina Health Center, a state-of-the-art integrated medical and behavioral
health facility in the underserved, low-income Maryvale community of Phoenix.
Why Integrated Health Care?
Integrated care produces the best outcomes and is the most effective approach to
caring for people with complex healthcare needs.
Better Results
Improved health outcomes and reduced health risks.
Lower Costs
Health care costs are as much as 75% higher for those
with mental illness who are not receiving primary
care.
Increased Access
Patients have access to a one-stop system of
health services.

The Need in Maryvale
Maryvale has the highest concentration of low-income patients in Maricopa County and a
shortage of primary care physicians.
Maryvale has the state’s highest rate of children
removed from the home by the Division of Child
Safety due to serious abuse and neglect.
Last year, 3,500 children ages birth to five were
referred to Catalina Health Center for severe
trauma assessment and treatment.
The psychological, therapeutic, and educational
support provided at Catalina Health Center gives
these children a chance to heal emotionally and
physically.
Seventy percent of behavioral health patients also have at least one on-going medical
condition. Without coordinated medical and behavioral health care, these children and
adults will die an average of 25 years earlier than expected.
The Catalina Health Center serves a population of children and families who have limited
access to health care and suffer from numerous untreated conditions.

diverse, low-income children, teens and adults.

and multicultural populations, including foreign refugees, our patients are served with the
utmost linguistic and cultural sensitivity.

The Old Clinic
Over the years, the JFCS behavioral health clinic in Maryvale went through numerous
expansions and remodels in order to meet the growing need and demand for services.
The old clinic was in crisis mode due to overcrowding, inadequate space and increased
need. Ultimately, the space and functionality of the old facility was simply inadequate to
serve this high-needs population. The Board and Administrative staff had to act.
Lack of
Space
• crowded waiting area
• too few intake windows
• lack of designated areas for
children and adult services
Inadequate
Treatment
Areas
• too few counseling rooms
• inadequate areas for play
therapy and other specialty
treatment services
• no on-site lab or pharmacy
Limited
Access
• confusing 'strip mall'
location
• too many separate
entrances and exits
• difficult access for the
disabled

The New Clinic
After four years of searching for a large enough space to lease, a building went on the
market right across the street from the old clinic. The board went out on a limb and
purchased the 24,000 square foot building which will provide medical, behavioral health,
laboratory, and pharmacy services all under the same roof.
Located in the low-income Maryvale area, the Catalina Health Center will serve more than
8,000 people a year.
Primary care physicians, psychiatrists, clinicians, counselors, therapists, and nurse practitioners
will work closely together to coordinate care and promote the total health and well-being of
each individual.

Additional Enhancements and Benefits
An integrated electronic health record will include medical and behavioral
health services, medications, and treatment history, preventing duplication of
services and improving the quality of care.
Improved care coordination for children and adolescents in the foster care
system to ensure they receive recommended medical, dental, and behavioral
health services.
Enhanced assessment and treatment for childhood trauma and autism to
facilitate early intermediate intervention to treat severe trauma as well as offer
intensive support services for autism spectrum disorder.
Parent observation and training rooms to help parents and caregivers see and
learn healthy behavioral techniques they can use at home with their children.
Children’s wing with a designated waiting area and playground that is separate
from the adult services area.
A whole health approach is achieved through a soothing and calm
environment which maximizes the potential for healing and promotes resilience
and wellness for children and families.
The new Catalina Health Center is designed specifically to provide both medical
and behavioral health services under one roof in an environment where clinical
and support staff can talk to each other and share treatment information
electronically in order to determine the best course of action for each patient’s
health.

Going Out on Limb
The Board went out on a limb by dipping into their reserves to purchase and renovate the
facility with the hope that current and new donors would see the urgency of this project
and support their actions on behalf of the Maryvale community. JFCS’ ability to replace
those reserves is critical to the future stability of needed programs and services not only in
Maryvale but throughout Maricopa County.
Estimated Costs
The projected cost of the new Catalina Health Center is $3.3M for the purchase of the
building, the architectural design, build-out, furniture, fixtures and equipment. An
additional $1.7M is needed to support start-up of expanded, enhanced, and integrated
medical and behavioral health services, fundraising expenses and project management.
In all, JFCS is seeking $5M to support purchase, construction and start-up of the new
medical and behavioral health delivery system offered by the Catalina Health Center.
