As a behavioral health community partner (BH CP), we organize care and facilitate communication across medical, behavioral health and long-term services, including agencies and social supports.

We also help individuals to navigate the healthcare system. The team approach to care means that medical and behavioral health professionals bring their individual areas of expertise to help solve all of these challenges. Working together, the team ensures that comprehensive and coordinated care is provided in the right place, at the right time, and by the right providers. And because these services are delivered in community settings including the home, they help reduce the need for higher levels of care, such as hospital emergency departments, medical or psychiatric hospitalization, or detox treatment.

This is the foundation of the Brien Center’s Behavioral Health Community Partners program, and how we are helping individuals access the full range of care and services that will help them meet their treatment goals and live better lives.
