A Model for Community Safety and Well-being
Working Together to Reduce Risk in Our Community
Our Approach
The HUB is a risk-based outreach model which draws upon a list of various factors to evaluate individuals or families as being at-elevated-risk for adverse social and health outcomes. Bi-weekly 90-minute virtual meetings are held to create a structured assessment and coordinated strategic outreach effort.
Who
An island-wide consortium of health and human service providers who share information and establish rapid interventions designed to mitigate risks associated with marginalized individuals and to address their clinical, medical, behavioral and social needs.
Why
-
Develop community partnerships for multi-disciplinary, strategic problem-solving.
-
Create a way to reach individuals or families at-elevated-risk upstream before an overdose or other behavioral health crisis occurs and a 911 call is ever made.
-
Reduce the growing strain of behavioral health-related emergencies on law enforcement.
-
Help individuals and families connect to the services and treatment they need and build relationships and trust between HUB partners and the communities they serve.
-
Increase access to social determinants of health services for HUB participants.
