Innovative Partnerships: Examples of Collaborations
Among State Agencies

State Collaboration
“Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is progress,
Working together is success”Henry Ford

Where to Start?
Start at the TopLook at existing pieces of infrastructure for pieces that may already be in place or provide an entry point to address older adult behavioral health issues - “Asset Mapping”
Look for what is already being done in the state that provides/funds behavioral health services for older adults and how combining these pieces can provide synergy and/or a greater funding base for evidence-based models and/or interventions
4
Legislation
See if there is any existing legislation specifically for older adult services or on related topics – e.g., Self-Neglect, Elder Abuse, Suicide Prevention – that might provide a basis or entry point for state support of behavioral health services for older adults
Example: Illinois – Self-Neglect Task Force
5
State Plans
Look at the current state planning process and once again those components that may already address behavioral services for older adults
If they do not already include them, assert them into the planning process.
Perhaps some funding streams can be combined for more comprehensive services.
Look at the different components to see what piece is already provided.
Example: Illinois State Planning Process

Work Force Development
Data indicates a lack of trained geriatric professionals in all of these fields. States can leverage their statewide geriatric expertise by sponsoring statewide Behavioral Health and Aging Conferences, having a mental health track in existing conferences, writing manuals and sharing resource information
Illinois:• 3 regional conferences, mental health track at
Governor’s conference on aging• Mental Health and Aging Manual – used at forums
throughout the state• Use of regional Geriatric Education Centers

Types of Professionals to be Trained

Older Ohioans Behavioral Health Network
PARTNERS:• Ohio Dept. of Aging• Ohio Dept. of Mental Health• Ohio Dept. of Alcohol & Drug Addiction Services• Ohio Assn. of County Behavioral Health Authorities
18
Partnership between State and Stakeholder Organizations
GOAL: More behavioral health services will be integrated into aging and healthcare services which will increase the effectiveness and access of behavioral and physical health care.
OBJECTIVE: Increase collaboration and training opportunities among behavioral health, physical health and aging systems of care.

Older Ohioans Behavioral Health Network Outcomes
The Network has proven successful in seeding evidence-based and promising practices
in counties throughout the state to help older Ohioans
live healthy lives.
20
Long-Term Goal Achievement
The goal to integrate behavioral health services with other senior-serving programs and activities was accomplished over a 6-year period in a number of concrete ways. Traditional behavioral health partners and senior- serving agencies were expanded to include the elder abuse/elder justice partners - the Ohio Coalition for Adult Protective Services (OCAPS) and the Ohio Attorney General's Elder Abuse Commission.

Ohio’s Opiate Epidemic and State Leadership across Systems
The Governor’s Cabinet Opiate Action Team attacks the opiate epidemic on behalf of
Ohioans to end opiate abuse by reforming prescribing practices for appropriate pain management, punishing those involved in illegal activity, and treating those who are
addicted to enable them to return to productive lives.

Talking Points – Don't Get Me Started Campaign
Drug addiction can happen to anyone.
With opiate painkiller abuse, just once is too much.Starting is easy. Stopping isn’t.
More overdose deaths are now associated with prescription medications than any other drug, including cocaine or heroin.
Taking opiate painkillers not prescribed for you is dangerous and can cause overdose death.
The opiates in painkillers are chemically the same as heroin.Opiate painkillers should not be taken for long term chronic pain
because they are addictive.

MCC attempts to address the needs of a marginalized, underserved and high-risk elder population that is very difficult to reach, especially by traditional providers and programs.
