At Providence, we are working to change how we care for our patients with behavioral health needs.
Behavioral health is more than mental health. It includes the treatment of mental illnesses as well as emotional well-being, domestic violence, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors. At Providence, we are integrating behavioral health care into the primary care setting. By caring for the whole person, we can reduce the reluctance many patients have when seeking help for behavioral health issues.
Donors help us fund projects and services that benefit patients struggling with issues related to
behavioral health.
Featured Projects:
-
Senior Psychiatric Unit at Providence Milwaukie Hospital
This unit provides short-term inpatient behavioral health services for patients 65 and older. Our safe and secure environment allows patients to maintain as much normalcy in their everyday routines as possible. Family involvement is highly encouraged to ensure a smooth transition back home or to a residential care facility.
Support the Senior Psychiatric Unit -
Adolescent Behavioral Health Program at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center
This new program will serve about 24 kids per day between the ages of 13 and 17 who are experiencing a significant mental health crisis. Participants and their families will engage in an intensive 28-day therapy program during which they will attend individual, group, and family therapy sessions for 6 hours each day at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. This program will fill a critical and significant gap in mental health care for this very vulnerable population. It does not exist anywhere else within Oregon.
-
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit at Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center
This unit offers treatment programs for children up to 17 years old. Our programs are age-appropriate and flexible to individual needs using problem-solving approaches. Family involvement is encouraged during treatment as well as with care planning and discharge planning.
