Vermont Integrated Services Initiative (VISI)
Too often people with co-occurring mental health and substance disorders do not get the help they need, leading to homelessness, incarceration, hospitalization and personal suffering.
The Vermont Integrated Services Initiative (VISI) is a program funded by the State of Vermont, to address the ways in which people with co-occurring disorders can receive timely, consistent, and effective treatment.
What's New
- Almost 150 people attended the "Walk a Mile in My Shoes": Bridging Peer Support and Treatment Services Conference on September 26, 2008! The following links are to the information that was presented at various workshops throughout the day.
Vision
Our vision is to build a client-centered, recovery oriented system of care that is organized at every level to serve people and families with complex needs, particularly those with co-occurring mental health, substance use and or/medical conditions.
Mission
Our mission is to improve Vermont's capacity to provide integrated services to people with co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions.
Goals
- Build capacity among service providers to deliver integrated services to people with co-occurring conditions.
- Develop peer-led, community-based supports for people with co-occurring conditions.
- Increase the integration of the state’s health care system to better support co-occurring services.
