    Our Outreach Worker program engages hard to serve clients in essential outpatient physical and behavioral health services. In so doing this reduces the use of avoidable hospitalizations and emergency room visits. Many of these individuals have been in services but have since been disconnected. The Outreach Worker accepts referrals from multiple sources, some of which could be mental health outpatient service providers, Adult Protective Service, concerned citizens and families. This program has access to "wrap around" service dollars to utilize for a one-time funding that can remedy immediate issues of concern.

How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Peer-Led Support and Advocacy
    methodology: peer_support
    By engaging individuals with lived mental health experience as support providers and advocates, we strengthen recovery commitment and improve service engagement, because shared experience builds trust, reduces stigma, and models achievable recovery pathways.
  • Targeted Outreach to Prevent Crisis
    methodology: outreach_first
    By proactively engaging hard-to-reach individuals with mental illness through direct outreach, we connect them to outpatient services early, because early intervention reduces reliance on emergency care and prevents hospitalization.
