Serving the behavioral health needs of central Georgians
Community Health Works is guided by a mission of regional integration of whole person healthcare, an approach to health care focused on meeting physical, mental and behavioral health needs. As such, CHW employees a full-time Behavioral Health Counselor who provides a variety of services to patients and health care providers in the region. The Behavioral Health Counselor serves as a consultant, coordinator and resource on a case-by-case need for patients, physicians, case managers and other members of medical staff on issues related to plan of care, utilization of resources, health outcomes, availability of external resources, psychosocial evaluations, along with other care related to patients’ needs and circumstances.
The Behavioral Health Counselor provides individual, family and community interventions to overcome barriers to positive health behaviors; including client assessment, care planning, coordination of services and health education for clients, advocacy for clients and monitoring of care delivered. The Behavioral Health Counselor also accepts referrals from the Anderson Health Center healthcare team and performs concurrent review of patient records and medical visit history to identify patterns of inappropriate utilization of health services including hospital services (Urgent Care, Emergency Room visits, hospital admissions, and missed appointments). Population served is generally unfunded clientele age 18 and over with multiple chronic, non-emergent health and behavioral problems.
