Community Partnerships

Community Partnerships are key to coordination of care and successful outcomes for those we serve, and the following are just a few of the organizations Alliance has shared programs and/or MOU’s with: 

• University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center partnership includes students from the psychiatry, pharmacy and nursing programs and the Shelby Connect System of Care Grant. 

• Community Alliance for the Homeless (CAFTE).  Alliance works with CAFTE to place individuals with behavioral health needs in housing.  

• Regional One partnership includes the program centered around our shared “familiar faces” we see in our urgent care settings, Tennessee Health Link Program, and mobile crisis assessments.  

• Methodist partnership includes mobile crisis and psychiatric consults in all of their emergency rooms. 

• Baptist partnership includes mobile crisis and psychiatric consults in their emergency rooms. 

• The Healing Center and Faces program includes a partnership with their uninsured clinic, emotional fitness centers, and family support specialists’ program. 

• Church Health includes an on-site bi-lingual therapist and psychiatric services from Alliance for their Crosstown location. 

• Christ Community and Alliance meet monthly to coordinate quality care for children and adults they both provide services for. Alliance is the Behavioral Health home called the Tennessee Health Link program, and Christ Community is the Primary Care Medical Home.  

• First Step Recovery refers individuals to the MAT and co-occurring programs. 

• Legacy of Legends is based in the Frayser community and provides Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) training and education for the community.  Alliance and Legacy participate in community events for mental health awareness and Legacy of Legends links individuals and families in need of behavioral health treatment to Alliance. 

• Serenity House refers individuals for to the MAT and co-occurring programs and is a referral source from the Alliance detox program.   

• Grace House refers individuals for the co-occurring program and is a referral source from the Alliance detox program. 

• Shelby County government contracts with Alliance for the pre-arrest/jail diversion, social detox programs at the Crisis Assessment Center, Shelby Connect grant, and co-response model with Sheriff (SAFE). The Shelby County Alliance Field Evaluation Team will begin in Feb 2022 and will pair a behavioral health specialist with law enforcement.  By getting to know the individuals and families law enforcement responds to, Alliance can link to treatment and divert individuals from jail.  

• Memphis City government contracts with Alliance for several homeless grants and partners with Alliance through the CIT and CARE team programs. 

• Alliance works with Memphis Shelby County Schools (MSCS) through the School Based Behavioral Health grant and receives referrals from MSCS and other school systems to link children and families to behavioral health services.
