RFI #0518-003 Individual Placement and Support-Supported Employment (IPS/SE) for Burke and Catawba Counties:  Partners Behavioral Health Management’s RFI #0518-003 will be used to specifically identify any current IPS/SE Providers interested in and qualified to provide Individual Placement and Support-Supported Employment (IPS/SE) in Burke and Catawba Counties.  As written in the NC DHHS service definition, IPS/SE is a person-centered, behavioral health service with a focus on employment, that provides assistance in choosing, acquiring, and maintaining competitive paid employment in the community for individuals 18 years and older for whom employment has not been achieved or employment has been interrupted or intermittent. This service is co-located with an agency’s behavioral health treatment services to ensure consistent behavioral health integration.  Depending on the volume of responses Partners may select a provider to add this service or will issue a full Request for Proposals.

Partners is conducting a survey to find out what people living across eight North Carolina counties think about the accessibility of services for mental health needs, substance use issues and intellectual or developmental disabilities in their local communities. As providers in these counties, we need your help! Our Community Needs Assessment Survey gives you the opportunity to tell us what services are needed and share where other services might be improved.

The survey is open from Monday, May 21, through Friday, June 15. You can access the survey at:
