WE ARE A

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONSULTING FIRM

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
CONSULTING FIRM

Using a teams-led approach, we identify and generate solution tools that help provider agencies implement changes to emerging critical issues, overcome operational barriers, ensure improved patient care outcomes, and maximize reimbursement for long term performance improvement and sustainability.

We do this by working closely with each agency’s executive team to stay innovative, increase resources, and operationalize cost-effective strategies and programs on behalf of the most vulnerable populations of focus.

Our clients include behavioral health providers, health care systems, state departments of mental health, state departments of substance abuse, children’s services, child welfare agencies, county and municipality departments, school systems, first responders and law enforcement, specialty or therapeutic courts, federally qualified health centers, rural community health/behavioral health providers, and housing and homeless services. 

 

We help you help your communities, work forces, and teams to thrive.

Our well-established consulting firm is focused on helping agencies improve access to behavioral health and integrated care resources while reducing disparities for the most vulnerable and disenfranchised populations.

We do this through four service lines: grant writing, program evaluation, performance improvement and sustainability, and parity and compliance initiatives.

Times of crisis create dangers, but also provide opportunities for innovation and change
Systems – organizations, communities, public agencies – do best when they view themselves as part of an integrated System of Care
More can be accomplished when stakeholders come together around a common agenda to create long-term solutions. “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”
There are no cookie-cutter problems and no cookie-cutter solutions
Systems focused change along a continuum from the individual, family, organization, community, and public sector
Provider-driven needs assessments and solutions
Data-driven strategies with measurable outcomes using evidence-based practices
Inclusion of community stakeholders and indigenous leaders in the identification of challenges and the development of feasible and sustainable solutions, “Nothing About Us Without Us”

Testimonials

SAE was very diligent, knowledgeable and savvy in their approach. SAE assisted us during a very critical time of leadership transition with the Behavioral Health Division. SAE was able to respond promptly and guide us through the process of data collection, analysis, and finally to the final product of conceptualizing the value statement. This analysis, which blends clinical and financial analyses, was critical for the survival of at least one, but more likely, four of our behavioral health programs. I am extremely grateful to SAE for their warm and empathetic approach. I consider SAE part of the Goodwill Behavioral Health team, and we look forward to working with them again in the future.

Interborough greatly values our ongoing consultation with SAE. SAE has helped Interborough receive a SAMSHA CCBHC grant, which positions us to transform the way we provide care to the communities we serve.  I am impressed with SAE’s expertise in key areas of change in behavioral healthcare, as well as their focus on metrics important to government and payers.
