TX HHS Form 1016. PASRR Mental Illness Specialized Services Discussion Checklist

The Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued the TX HHS Form 1016, PASRR Mental Illness Specialized Services Discussion Checklist, to facilitate discussions between Local Behavioral Health Authorities (LBHA) and residents who have been positively evaluated for mental illness under the PASRR program. This form is designed to document recommended specialized services and gather information on the individual's preferences and barriers to service delivery.

The form consists of three sections: Specialized Services Recommended by the PE, PASRR MI Specialized Services Discussion, and LMHA or LBHA Signature. The first section lists various specialized services that may be beneficial for individuals with mental illness, including skills training, case management, medication training, and psychosocial rehabilitative services. The second section is used to document the individual's desire for specific specialized services and any reasons for refusal, as well as efforts to resolve identified barriers.

This form is an essential tool for LBHA staff to ensure that individuals with mental illness receive the necessary support and services to improve their mental health outcomes. By using this form, LBHA staff can provide personalized care and address any challenges or concerns that may arise during the service delivery process. The TX HHS Form 1016 is a valuable resource for promoting effective communication and collaboration between LBHA staff and individuals with mental illness in Texas.
