The Pinellas Integrated Care Alliance leads the PIC Team in supporting individuals referred by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, offering services that reduce the need for emergency rooms, crisis units, and law enforcement.
Initially established to drive systemic change in behavioral healthcare, the PIC Team now operates under Eleos, providing comprehensive coordination for individuals with complex needs, following referrals and screenings by the Sheriff’s Office.
The Pinellas Integrated Care Alliance established the PIC Team to drive systemic change within the behavioral health care system. Initially a collaborative effort among several agencies, the PIC Team is now operated solely by Personal Enrichment through Mental Health Services, Inc. (PEMHS). This team focuses on providing System Coordination Services to individuals with complex needs, following referrals and screenings conducted by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.
The primary mission of the PIC Team is to identify and address inefficiencies, barriers, gaps, and overlaps within the behavioral health system, ensuring that residents of Pinellas County have true access to seamless services. Comprising a diverse, well-educated, and highly experienced group of professionals, the PIC Team is dedicated to improving the overall system of care. They can serve up to 120 clients aged 18 and older, helping them navigate and receive the comprehensive care they need.
PIC is a prevention initiative focusing on providing clients the right service, at the right time, for the right need. The initiative provides support and wrap-around services to meet the client’s basic needs and helps to empower them to become self-sufficient.
The goal of PIC services is to provide quality care and support during a time of need. The focus is to assist the client in reducing barriers they may face, in an intensive wraparound model; to help achieve overall strengthened sustainability.
Front line direct care staff, System Coordinators, are empowered to utilize and access Pinellas County resources on a client by client basis; all services are individual in scope and reflect the uniqueness of each client and their presenting circumstances.
The service duration of Service Coordination is brief, generally up to 6 months. Linkages to community resources, services with increased community resource knowledge, and successful sustainability on behalf of the clients served.
The Client completes a self-sufficiency matrix with their System Coordinator and together develops an individualized Service Plan, identifying and prioritizing the most pressing barriers preventing the client’s stability. The System Coordinator then works collaboratively with the client and any identified support system to educate on and link to community services, resources, and supports, to alleviate the identified needs and barriers.
