2014-2015 <Insert Company> United Way Campaign

United Way of the Piedmont seeks to transform the community by engaging people in opportunities to Give, Advocate and Volunteer.

Building Blocks to a Quality Life Our focus is in the areas of Education, Financial Stability and Health because we believe these to be the building blocks for any of us to have a good quality of life. All unrestricted funds, collaborative efforts and volunteer projects are focused on these 3 areas. 3 areas very interconnected and can not be addressed in a vacuum.

How Do Education, Financial Stability and Health Connect? Strong correlation between Education & Poverty and Education & Insurance Coverage Poverty is both a predictor of low educational attainment and an outcome of low educational attainment Obvious correlation between Education & Employment and Employment & Income Births to moms with less than a high school education crosscuts public health and education – 1 of the strongest predictors of a child’s academic success Insurance Coverage speaks to a community’s health and its economic and educational status Children growing up in poverty: complete less schooling work less and earn less as adults more likely to receive public assistance have poorer health Boys in poverty are more likely to be arrested as adults. Girls in poverty are more likely to give birth as teenagers.

Why Should We Care? IMPACTS: Available Workforce Community Safety Outside Economic Investment Overall Quality of Life Prevention is cheaper than responding to issues. We aren’t helping “those people over there.” We are investing in US. A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL SHIPS Does it really matter to us if the kid across town is ready for school or graduates? What concern is it of ours if someone else has access to quality healthcare?

Connect, engage and inspire people to transform the community. United Way Mission Connect, engage and inspire people to transform the community. By transforming the community, we all experience a better quality of life.

Status & Results of Current Investment Children, youth and adults have access to quality education that supports academic and social success. Status & Results of Current Investment 3rd grade reading – Since 2009 almost a 3% increase in meeting/exceeding standard High school graduation rates are on an encouraging upward trend Since 2010 slight increase in % of bachelor’s degrees; Challenge is 18.8% no diploma/GED; 31.5% high school only 3rd grade reading is a critical indicator of high school graduation. Positive results due to collaborative efforts Need to increase the % of individuals with training/education post high school. Educational attainment post high school makes our community more attractive to economic investment.

Status & Results of Current Investment Individuals and families in our community are able to meet basic needs and build economic self-sufficiency. Status & Results of Current Investment 2-1-1 implemented with a 450% increase in call volume Working to establish an assets based approach in all front line assistance agencies; “what do you bring to the table?” VISTA – Healthy Futures Structure with Financial Stability focus Since 2008, poverty has increased; from 14% to 20% for all; 19.9% to 28.6% for children United Way launched 211 for Spartanburg, Cherokee and Union Counties in January 2013. 211 is a 24/7 information and referral line connecting people to local resources. Everything from after school programs to geriatric care to budgeting services. United Way is working with emergency assistance agencies to establish an assets based approach with the goal of helping people move from living from crises to crises to a place of stability. Helping individuals to identify what they have in the form of skills and abilities that can be used to receive assistance. For example, weeding a flower bed or painting and in return receiving assistance with a power bill. VISTA – Volunteers In Service To America. UWP recruits individuals to our community to invest in building capacity of local nonprofits. This year 9 VISTAs will work in nonprofits building capacity around Economic Opportunity/Financial Stability. In addition to working with the individual nonprofits, these VISTAs will work on a project that has community-wide benefit as well. Steady increase in poverty %.

Status & Results of Current Investment Members of our community have the knowledge, resources and opportunities to live healthy, safe, and active lives. Status & Results of Current Investment Access to health services has increased but still 17.9% without insurance coverage. Decreased cost in targeted population by almost $1M. Behavioral Health Taskforce led by UWP is making strides goal to increase access from 1 in 6 to 1 in 5. There are approximately 13,000 in Spartanburg County alone that do not qualify for Medicaid and don’t make ENOUGH to qualify to purchase insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. By targeting a population that was over-utilizing emergency services (emergency center and EMS), our collaborative efforts have saved the community almost $1 million. The Behavioral Health Taskforce is being held up a model for the state. Nearly 78,000 in Spartanburg County are in need of services.

Behavioral Health Taskforce TACTICS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL/MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES Universal Screening Tool for Substance Abuse Risk & Community-wide Training Engage College & Graduate Students in Intern Service in Local Behavioral Health Settings Engage Adjunct Behavioral Health Professionals Re-establishment of Mental Health America Affiliate Welvista & Behavioral Health Partnerships at the Detention Center VISTA Program focused on a Collaborative Project to Increase Access to Behavioral Health Behavioral Health Taskforce is one example of a powerful community collaborative. While investing in proven programs is core strategy, UWP is more than just investing in existing programs. Tactics 1. Incorporate a universal screening tool into all service providers. SBIRT is a comprehensive, integrated, public health approach to the delivery of early intervention and treatment services for those with substance use disorders & at risk of developing these disorders. For early intervention with at-risk substance users before more severe consequences occur. 2. Engage college & grad students. Appx. 6 regional/state colleges & universities that offer degree programs in human services (Social Work, Counseling, etc.) requiring students to complete a targeted internship or practicum in areas related to Behavioral Health. Internships difficult to find & advisors are actively looking for placement opportunities that will provide experiences that will aide their personal & professional growth. Win-Win 3. Engage Adjunct Behavioral Health Professionals. Establish network of local, retired and active behavioral health professionals to address the unmet behavioral health needs in our community. Retirees are looking for a way to be meaningfully involved. 4. Re-establish Mental Health America affiliate. It brings together mental health consumers, parents, advocates and service providers for collaboration and action to inform, support and enable mental wellness, and emphasize recovery from mental illness. 5. Unique partnerships with Detention Ctr. – Avg mo jail spends $24K+ on prescription meds. A large mjrty of meds related to behavioral health issues. 2 unique partnerships developed from Taskforce. 1st – Welvista pilot program to lower med costs of jail & ensure inmates leave jail with script so meds don’t suddenly stop, which usually results in another trip to the jail or ER. Welvista, a nonprofit, providing access to free prescription medications for low income uninsured and underinsured. Scripts mailed to the patient’s residence. 2nd - Westgate Family Therapy, local nonprofit, providing ind. & family therapy thru partnership with Converse College – grad students get clinical practicums while providing counseling services to inmates. New service that jail couldn’t provide before. 6. UWP led VISTA for 8 yrs. VISTAs serve, full-time 1 yr at nonprofit or local gov’t agencies building organizational capacity for programs that tackle poverty. VISTAs recruit & manage community volunteers, raise funds, & help manage projects. VISTAs support programs that improve literacy, expand job opportunities, develop financial assets, reduce homelessness, & improve health services. In the past, there have been a variety of focuses with agency level impact. UWP wanted broader community impact so restructured program & developed a collaborative approach to benefit host agencies & whole community. Focus on Healthy Futures - VISTAs develop programs & strategies to increase community’s capacity to serve and provide access to appropriate & timely behavioral health services. The VISTAs in July of 2014 & will develop a collaborative project under the advisement of the larger task force. So innovative UWP is a nat’l demo project & received extra $ & people.

Behavioral Health Taskforce EARLY SUCCESSES Partnership between Detention Center and Welvista program that will reduce current monthly prescription costs of $24,000 and ensure prescriptions do not abruptly end when released resulting in future trips to ER or jail Partnership between Detention Center and Westgate Family Training providing counseling for inmates which is resulting in fewer violent outbursts improving officer safety Mental Health America affiliate opens July 2014

Report Prior to the implementation of 2-1-1, we were handling 1,000 calls per year. 450% increase to calls handled. 56 were people in crisis who were immediately connected to the suicide hotline.
