Senior Behavioural Health Access and Community Wellness Services

The issuing agency is seeking a vendor to provide senior behavioural health access and community wellness services. The project aims to increase the capacity of the public mental health system and implement strategies that foster the intersection of behavioural health treatment and spiritual resources. Through these services, the agency intends to reduce stigma, address senior isolation, and integrate spirituality to promote hope, mental wellness, and recovery for seniors aged sixty and older. The selected vendor must recruit four faith-based community organizations and one hundred seniors to participate in the program. Each recruited organization will host one event lasting a minimum of two hours, with the responsibility of linking twenty-five seniors to behavioural health services. The scope of work covers outreach and engagement, behavioural health navigation and referrals, and behavioural health educational topics at each event. The vendor must train and model to the faith community organizations how to assist seniors in accessing services, reduce senior isolation, and promote stigma reduction. The project requires the creation of physical and social settings that offer privacy, peer support, and opportunities to engage in shared hobbies or group activities. The vendor must submit all promotional materials, including social media content, to the agency for approval prior to implementation. The agency requires the vendor to provide reasonable Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations for participants, including language translation of materials, language interpretation, and handicap accessibility at facilities. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The performance of the work will take place offsite, and bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget, and specific key dates are not provided in the source.
