33. Delaware Health and Social Services Opportunities A poised and competent community provider network ready to revise, reorganize and get creative to meet state needs Continued strong support from federal partners through grants and technical assistance Growing base of talented Peer Support Specialists who have already improved treatment services at DPC Strong support from DHSS, Deputy Attorney General and the Governor’s office to make change occur New monies will allow DSAMH to develop integrated community homes and services for Delaware citizens

34. Delaware Health and Social Services Challenges Normalization of the Peer Specialist role within all community provider organizations Need for increased co-occurring, competent community placements Need to identify where the DSAMH system of care can be reorganized to take advantage of federal dollars and built-in incentive based contracting Create community services for current DPC clients that include apartments that are independent with wrap around/peer specialist auxiliary staff; smaller group homes that address higher acuity consumers

35. Delaware Health and Social Services Challenges Need to prepare for national Health Care Reform Need for Targeted Care Management services statewide Need for continued supervisory staff training at DPC Need to improve/maintain morale and retention of talented staff in all settings Need to implement electronic record keeping and maximize use of technology for providing services in community and at DPC
