Broward Behavioral Health Coalition

One Community Partnership 3 (OCP3) is a Broward youth system of care grant awarded through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to Broward County. The overarching purpose of OCP3 is to enhance infrastructure and build evidence-based mental health service capacity within the Broward school and child welfare systems for young people between the ages of 12 and 21 years old with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and those with early signs and symptoms of serious mental illness (SMI). OCP3 will serve 25 youth in year one, 58 youth in year two, 58 youth in year three, and 59 youth in year four, with a total of 200 unduplicated youth and their families (biological/foster) served throughout the grant.

Broward Youth Reentry Program (BYRP) was designed to create a recovery oriented, consumer focused approach to behavioral health services.  It provides services and supports to youth ages 12-21 with the goal of eliminating re-involvement in the criminal justice system.  Youth and interested family members receive peer support as youth transition through four phases within the program.  In addition to peer support, youth receive many other services, such as case management and Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT).  The purpose of MRT is to help youth develop better decision-making skills and gain empathy regarding the impact their choices can have. The program is tailored to meet the needs of youth on an individual basis and uses Transition to Independence Process (TIP) to give youth a voice and choice in the direction of their lives.
