PRIMARY CARE

Primary and Behavioral Health Integration

Description of Services:

The CYH Project serves as the “Health Home” for those who receive services at Integrated Healthcare Systems by offering primary health services and wellness activities. This service structure provides follow-up medical care coordination, lab testing, and medical screenings.

The program upholds the values of educated choice-making, recovery-focused and person-centered therapy, and integration of evidence-based practices into standard medical practice. A person-centered, integrated approach to the medical care of people with behavioral health illnesses is the core of the CYH Project’s service delivery.

Our Goals:

Increase the provision of a coordinated range of medical, self-improvement, interpersonal, supportive, and rehabilitated programs that are tailored to the wants and preferences of the individual.
To enhance the physical well-being of individuals with severe mental illness who run the risk of having behavioral health and primary care issues co-occur.
To support those who are actively participating in their health and wellness.
To aid with the coordination of behavioral, specialist, and general healthcare treatments.
To improve individual and family participation in the planning process for rehabilitation.
