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.
