The Ohio Department of Mental Health (ODMH) is launching Technical Assistance and Training Initiatives to promote and support adoption of integrated health care and health home service delivery models for individuals with serious and persistent mental illness. In this endeavor, ODMH is focused on assembling a cadre of nationally recognized experts, consultants and trainers to deliver Technical Assistance and Training to community behavioral health centers who are interested in transforming their organizations through implementation of the integrated health care and health home service models.

The "Health Home Supplemental Application" is temporarily unavailable. ODMH is utilizing lessons learned from Phase I implementation to develop a revised health home application that will better support provider's successful development and delivery of health home service. Please check back soon for the revised application.
