WELLHEALTH CLINIC

Wellhealth Clinic is a mental health clinic established by Lighthouse Wellhealth (LHWH.ORG) dedicated to mental health treatments for kids and teens of the community, promote suicide prevention, provide psycho-education, and offer prevention and trauma training for teachers and other non-clinical professionals.

 

A major challenge of mental health work is how can we, as a community, offer a success model inclusive of education, prevention, crisis intervention, treatment, and remission. There needs to be efforts that can address "successful" mental health management. Often times, crisis or suicide prevention may aid in keeping an individual from harm, at least for a short period of time. Then, the person really needs to be connected to a treatment provider to truly facilitate a path forward toward recovery and remission. Unfortunately, too often the person does not successfully connect with treatment services and the person becomes in crisis again. This is a vicious and heart-breaking cycle, especially if the person is successful in self-harm. Hence, Wellhealth was created to function as a "bridge" that can string together all the different aspects of mental health management, from prevention to remission, maximizing the ability to safeguard against repeated crisis. Through a compassion care delivery model, we strive to bridge care from prevention to remission through effective treatment planning and implementation. 

 

Our mission and roadmap to successful prevention to remission includes:

• Minimize barriers for kids, adolescents, and teens to receive mental health care.

• Advancement of mental health psychoeducation on suicide prevention, awareness, and treatment.

• Establish a true continuity of care model, from prevent to treatment.

• Provide trauma training for clinical and non-clinical professionals and community members to triage and treat suicide risk.

• Establishment of a Trauma-focused Center and resource to address PTSD, from awareness to treatment.

• Support veteran and military families in need of mental health support through access to better care delivery options.
