CMHPSM RFP 2025B - Substance Use Services Prevention Coalition Program

The Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeast Michigan (CMHPSM) is the Pre-Paid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP) for Region 6, representing Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe and Washtenaw counties. CMHPSM is requesting proposals from bidders for Prevention Coalitions to ultimately reduce substance misuse and the associated consequences in a targeted community.  Bidders must demonstrate the implementation of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) for developing coalition plans that lead to community-level change.  Proposals should align with the CMHPSM FY24-26 Substance Use Services Strategic Plan and the Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) model.  Consider existing services, opportunities for collaboration, health disparities and social determinants of health.

Identifying and understanding substance misuse related issues in a community is vital to establishing a coalition plan and making recommendations for potential improvements.  Thus, coalitions must utilize data to guide local decisions and create a comprehensive plan based on the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF).  The SPF is an outcome-based, data driven, population-level approach to substance misuse prevention planning.  SPF includes five steps: assessment, capacity, planning, implementation and evaluation.  All five steps in the SPF process must be conducted in a culturally competent manner and with a goal of sustainability.  For more information, please see A Guide to SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework.  The coalition’s plan requires the use an applicable assortment of the Seven Strategies for Community Level Change (CADCA).
