Message from the Commissioner I am pleased to introduce the City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS) 2018-19 Annual Report: Setting the P.A.C.E. This report illustrates our priorities and commitment to advancing excellence in care for the people of Philadelphia. As I look back on the past year, I’m humbled by all we continue to accomplish on behalf of the people of Philadelphia and the communities we serve. These accomplishments would not be possible without the hard work, dedication, and innovation of more than 1,100 employees across the six divisions within DBHIDS, our vast provider network, our City partners, our community stakeholders, and — most importantly — the people we serve. DBHIDS is a comprehensive system with a strength that comes from teamwork, collaboration, and a willingness to do whatever is necessary to ensure the people of Philadelphia receive high-quality supports, services, and treatment. Increased access to care was a top priority in 2018-19. We continued to partner across City agencies to implement recommendations from the Mayor’s Opioid Task Force and served as a key partner for the City of Philadelphia Resilience Project. Through these efforts we made significant progress connecting people to services and saw the number of people accessing services at a five-year high. In my role as Commissioner, I am blessed to work with wonderful staff. As a servant leader, I am immensely thankful for staff’s willingness to serve Philadelphians. Each day, I see new examples of how we bring integrated services to people with the greatest needs and how collaboration among public, private, and nonprofit entities enables efficient and effective service delivery. I am proud of our accomplishments, and we are committed to doing more. This report serves to highlight not only what we have done but what we will continue to do to ensure Philadelphia receives the best care possible. As a new year begins, we are “Setting the P.A.C.E.” to achieve greater outcomes for the people of Philadelphia. Sincerely,
David T. Jones Commissioner, DBHIDS President, CBH Board of Directors

The People We Serve As a person in recovery, I realize my mind is not always my friend — I still struggle with making healthy choices. Getting involved and becoming a homeless case manager and certified peer specialist saved my life. Now, I use my lived experience to help others on their road to recovery.” — Kenneth Biggs Employment Readiness Specialist
Early Intervention (EI) services helped my sons when they were infants — now Intellectual disAbility Services continues to support them. They started their own business that gives back to the community. The same person who worked with them during EI still works with them now, and they even remember the stories she used to tell them. It changed their lives — and mine.” — Susanne Tuckerman Parent
I never thought in a million years that I’d go from trying to destroy my life to now being part of a movement and a system that helps people”. — Tylon Bridges Certified Peer Specialist, Merakey, USA
My journey to recovery began 24 years ago in a treatment center. The 12-step program, volunteering, and the Certified Peer Specialist Training helped me understand mental health and break the barriers of stigma. For me, the best way to help others is to treat people with dignity, be culturally competent, and practice self-care. Being openminded and treating people with dignity will help reduce stigma.” — Guadalupe Santos Certified Peer Specialist

Our Population Health Approach Population Health = Community Health DBHIDS seeks to improve the health status of all Philadelphians, not just those who experience stigma as a result of their intellectual disability and/or behavioral health challenges.
Social Determinants of Health Poor health and health disparities do not result from medical causes alone. In fact, environment and lifestyle factors have seven times more impact on overall population wellness than health care (see pie chart below). A population health approach seeks to address these factors to reduce health disparities and safeguard everyone’s right to optimal health and selfdetermination.
Factors that Influence Health Status
Personal health practices and coping skills
Population Health at DBHIDS By providing excellent clinical care as well as community-level interventions and services, a population health approach helps us create a Philadelphia in which every member — not just those who seek out behavioral health or intellectual disability services — can thrive.
We achieve these outcomes through a wealth of internal initiatives and external community-based partnerships.
