Behavioral Health Peer Services

Pierce County is seeking proposals from peer-run organizations to deliver peer-led behavioral support services that are not reimbursable under Medicaid or private insurance. The proposed services should provide support to individuals with behavioral health struggles, with an emphasis on long-term stability, community integration, and reduced reliance on crisis and emergency services. The services may be provided in various community-based or integrated care settings. Proposers must be either a Behavioral Health Agency, a faith-based organization, or a community agency employing licensed behavioral health providers. The total funding available for this procurement is $2,000,000, and the County anticipates awarding multiple contracts. Some key points to consider: • Proposers must have at least one year of experience providing peer services. • Proposed services must exclusively provide peer support services as the core function. • The services should demonstrate whole-person care and promote recovery and resilience. • Proposers should have a clear plan for ensuring continuity of care when participants transition between services. • The proposed budget should be reasonable and take into account factors such as alignment with the project scope and proportionality to the proposed services and expected outcomes.
