OVERVIEW
Through this program, behavioral health clinicians provide in-depth assessments and develop care plans that may include individualized counseling, care coordination to community resources, and referrals. This behavioral health program comes right to the consumer and works with the older adults for six to nine months, or as needed. Clinicians can meet the older adult in their home, or at a location that is comfortable for the consumer, such as a local park.
