Orange County Mental Health Gap Analysis Survey <br /> .,t I Are there any barriers not already <br /> included on this list that you would like to <br /> see addressed within Orange County? <br /> Please explain. <br /> Answered:42 Skipped:109 <br /> Responses Date <br /> 1 I would say when a family is in crisis how can they access or be connected to someone that speaks their language 11/3/2016 3:50 PM <br /> such as mobile crisis or police officer. <br /> 2 no 11/3/2016 3:10 PM <br /> 3 you covered them 11/2/2016 8:31 AM <br /> 4 need capacity for more school based mental health 11/1/2016 5:24 PM <br /> 5 culturally relevant practices specific support services for LGBTQ teens 11/1/2016 4:59 PM <br /> 6 I find it difficult to rank these barriers because almost all are very significant barriers.Even if we are able to identify 11/1/2016 11:52 AM <br /> them early in elementary school,there are several factors that might inhibit a child in need of mental health services <br /> from actually getting them--especially for our low income families.The most significant being transportation,parent <br /> schedule,insurance,and language,but also the fact that mental health services and treatment for youth in OC is still <br /> pretty limited and stretched thin. <br /> 7 Education for parents for the need. 11/1/2016 11:12 AM <br /> 8 What was not included on this survey are the barriers created through the MCO,Cardinal.The lack of appropriate 11/1/2016 9:20 AM <br /> services and ease of access is a barrier to services. <br /> 9 I find it incredibly hard to rank these because most of these are very significant barriers and a ranking system doesn't 10/31/2016 9:39 PM <br /> do it justice.Even if we identify mental health concerns at the elementary school level,there are so many barriers <br /> keeping our families from following up with our referrals for mental health services for their children(especially low <br /> income families with limited transportation,busy work schedules,and even more so for those that are Non-English <br /> speakers) <br /> 10 This would relate to transportation but not enough services in Northern Orange County. 10/31/2016 7:03 PM <br /> 11 Lack of psychiatric care. 10/31/2016 3:12 PM <br /> 12 Parents not driving kids to their appointments so kids miss their appointments.Once you have missed enough 10/31/2016 12:54 PM <br /> appointments,the provider often refuses to see you again. <br /> 13 Transportation and parent work schedule for low income families is a huge barrier,which is why in school mental 10/31/2016 12:19 PM <br /> health services are so important but at this point,still very scarce/spread thin <br /> 14 Insurance that has POOR coverage for mental health services(i.e.must meet$500 deductible before any coverage is 10/31/2016 8:51 AM <br /> given) <br /> 15 Lack of accessible,comprehensive substance abuse treatment for Spanish speaking,uninsured clients.Only option is 10/28/2016 11:11 AM <br /> El Futuro and it is NOT a comprehensive substance abuse treatment center. <br /> 16 The primary barrier i see is lack of follow-up and follow-through from the agencies. 10/28/2016 11:10 AM <br /> 17 No 10/28/2016 6:40 AM <br /> 18 Childcare 10/26/2016 8:44 PM <br /> 19 awareness among human service staff and medical professionals about red flags in adults and children and how to 10/25/2016 11:44 AM <br /> support someone in accessing mental health services <br /> 20 No 10/22/2016 8:17 AM <br /> 21 Services for undocumented people are virtually non existent 10/21/2016 1:10 PM <br /> 22 very limited spanish speaking or karen/burmese speaking therapists.and very few sliding scale options or pro bono 10/20/2016 1:29 PM <br /> for those without insurance <br /> 33 /48 <br />
