Behavioral Health

Special Behavioral Health Initiatives
Community Health Behavioral Health collaborates with community organizations that provide support and mental health services. These are some of our ongoing initiatives:
Staff Training
In addition to the behavioral health staff, all Community Health clinicians are trained in suicide screening and certified in collaborative assessment and management of suicidality. All clinical staff members have been specially trained to address next steps when a provider has concerns about a patient at risk.
Community Health and the Zero Suicide Initiative
The Zero Suicide Initiative is a framework used by behavioral health professionals to prevent suicide. We use a workflow for depression and suicidal ideation that includes screening tools to identify patients who may benefit from further clinical evaluation, along with steps any staff member can take to have a patient connected immediately to the crisis line.
Gun Locks matter for suicide prevention. Every Community Health medical location has access to gun locks for securing firearms, a program in collaboration with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a grassroots movement focused on public safety measures and encouraging responsible gun ownership. Anyone interested in receiving a gun lock (free of charge) can stop into any Community Health patient location, stopping at the front desk and request one from the behavioral health team member working in that office (or similar phrasing).
