About
Healthcare Professional Pipeline: The Svila Collaborative is actively working to decrease the mental healthcare provider shortage in New Mexico by providing community-based training and internship opportunities for students working towards degrees in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology and Psychiatry. During FY 17-18, The Svila Collaborative: Provided free clinical supervision to 5 masters degree student interns, and 1 doctoral student conducting practicum placement. All of the supervision was for bilingual students on behavioral health career pathways. The Svila Collaborative is a National Health Service Corps (NHSC) loan repayment site for clinicians that want to work in federally designated health professional shortage areas (HPSA). The South Valley is a health professional shortage area. In addition to free clinical supervision, the Svila Collaborative provided funding for clinicians to take licensure examination prep courses and for the cost of their licensing examinations. This support helped one of our Spanish-speaking clinicians to obtain independent licensure. All of the members of our health insurance outreach and enrollment team were also given training to become Community Health Workers. During the past fiscal year, The Svila Collaborative was able to enroll one of our clinicians in the NHSC which payed off $25,000 of the clinicians student loans. Clinicians from Centro Svila provided over 50 hours of school and community information and outreach and school lectures to students interested in or studying mental health related fields; Participated in 6 professional association presentations; and participated in several collaborates and coalitions aimed at decreasing health disparities in Bernalillo County. In 2017, The Svila Collaborative applied for and received funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for he Via a la Salud/Pipeline to Health program which is aimed at increasing the number of culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health professionals in New Mexico. This program has developed an innovative curriculum for internship field sites and is working in collaboration with New Mexico Highlands University and New Mexico State University to improve the internship experience of bilingual, bicultural students.Food Security: During FY 17-18, The Svila Collaborative extended the scope of our therapeutic garden project by increasing the number of clients served while partnering with other groups in the South Valley to expand our Food Security program. The Therapeutic Garden project contracted with a local, bilingual farmer to maximize the use of the garden and to educate patients on how to grow healthy and nutritious foods. The garden was also used by the South Valley Youth Engagement Program that provided gardening workshops to over 40 South Valley high school students whose families struggled with food insecurity and taught sustainable farming techniques. The students farmed year round in a 200 square foot greenhouse they built. This year over 20 bags of groceries, and household supplies were distributed weekly to South Valley patients with food insecurity. During this fiscal year The Svila Collaborative continued work on the Community Table project which engages community in facilitated design workshops to create an outdoor table and shade structure where group activities and food distribution will take place upon completion.Research and Advocacy: The Svila Collaborative participates in research examining the social determinants of health, access to behavioral health services, and clinical outcomes. During FY 17-18, The Svila Collaboratives Executive Director: Participated in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundations Clinical Scholars Program and attended trainings at Academy Health in Washington DC to build advocacy skills around improving access to treatment for New Mexican families struggling with opioid use disorder. The Svila Collaborative also participated in the New Mexico Opioid State Targeted Response (STR) Initiative in collaboration with the UNM Dept of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences - Div of Community Behavioral Health (CBH) to address provider education and patient access to evidence-based interventions to Opioid Use Disorder. The Svila Collaborative participated in the Immigrant Wellbeing Project with community-based, immigrant-serving partner organizations and with researchers at the University of New Mexicos Transdisciplinary Research, Equity and Engagement Center for Advancing Behavioral Health and other community partners. Four of our staff attended a week-long training by the UNM Evaluation Lab on integrating research and evaluation into our daily programming and procedures.The Strengthening Families Program: In November of 2017, The Savila Collaborative took over the Strengthening Families Program post Samaritan Counseling Centers unexpected closure. The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is a nationally and internationally recognized parenting and family strengthening program for high-risk and general population families. SFP is an evidence-based family skills training program found to significantly improve parenting skills and family relationships, reduce problem behaviors, delinquency and alcohol and drug abuse in children and to improve social competencies and school performance. Child maltreatment also decreases as parents strengthen bonds with their children and learn more effective parenting skills. During the 2017-2018 school year, the Strengthening Families Program graduated 24 Spanish and English- speaking families. The SFP added a new collaboration through the partnership with the Native American Community Academy where the English classes were facilitated. Each semester families attend 14 consecutive sessions. SFP covers three skills courses: Parenting skills, Childrens skills, and Family skills. Skills are for all families; they are not special skills for deficient families. SPF makes learning life skills easier for high-stress families, providing time to learn and practice at their space. It is expected to increase the number of families participating in the SPF program of the 2018-2019 school year to 50 (3 Spanish-Speaking classes and 2 English-speaking classes of 10 families each). Two additional schools will be added through the partnership with RFK and the South Valley Academy Charter Schools.Hopkins Center: In November of 2017, The Savila Collaborative successively incorporated The St. Joseph Center for Children and Families after The Samaritan Counseling Centers sudden closure. In December, 2017 the program was renamed and is now The Hopkins Center for Children and Families. Three new staff members were added to The Savila Collaborative, two therapists and a Pathways Navigator. The Hopkins Center provides culturally sensitive counseling and resources, in Spanish and English, to strengthen the families of Albuquerques International District as well as Bernalillo County. The Hopkins Center focus includes supports for parents and families and clinical services to address common behavioral health issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and adjustment to changes or transitions. We provide help through individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults; marital/couples counseling; family therapy; education and support groups; referrals to community resources. The Hopkins Center serves the needs of local women by providing a weekly support group that it is attended by an average of 8 to 10 women. The two therapists provided about 655 clinical hours during the FY18.
