Currently, Marquette County has been utilizing the app for two years, and Adams County is considering joining the initiative. The app offers a range of services, including crisis support, care coordination, and access to various support groups, all monitored by trained peer professionals. This peer supervision ensures that users receive timely assistance, especially in crisis situations.
The app is designed for both youth and adults, with separate forums to ensure safety for younger users. The estimated cost for Adams County to partner with Marquette County on this initiative is between $12,514 and $500 per month, based on an initial enrollment of 50 clients. Officials noted that funding could be sourced from existing block grants dedicated to mental health and substance abuse treatment.
Feedback from meeting participants was largely positive, with many expressing support for the app as a modern solution to mental health challenges, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The next steps involve gathering more information from CHES Health and potentially scheduling a follow-up discussion for further approval.
