  27. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/dominion_hospital_dominion_hospital.jpg" alt="Hot Jobs - Behavioral Health" align="left" /><p>Northern Virginia Bureau Chief Julie Carey reports on State Sen. Creigh Deeds' visit to Northern Virginia in his push for mental health reform. (Published Thursday, Nov. 12, 2015) A Virginia lawmaker whose son died in the midst of a mental health crisis visited Northern Virginia Thursday looking for answers. State Sen. Creigh Deeds’ (D) quest to reform mental health services began a little less than two years ago after his 24-year-old son, Gus, attacked him, then killed himself. Deeds now heads a legislative committee tasked with improving treatment for the mentally ill. He and fellow lawmakers did some fact-finding today at Pathway Homes, a non-profit providing housing and services for 500 mentally ill adults. What's especially unique is the organization provides housing in one of the 193 properties it owns leases or managers for as long as an individual needs it Sue Zywokarte went to Pathways in 2002 suffering from severe depression. But in time, she said, the combination of stable housing and treatment helped. She went back to college. Deeds and the delegation also toured Fairfax County's new Community Services Board facility - often a starting point for many with mental health challenges. Staffers wore buttons reading "Diversion First, " signifying a new effort to divert some mentally ill offenders away from jail and into treatment.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  72. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/behavioral_health_services_catholic_charities.jpg" alt="Community-Based Mental Health" align="left" /><p>Clinical mental health counseling is a distinct profession with national standards for education, training and clinical practice. Clinical mental health counselors are highly-skilled professionals who provide flexible, consumer-oriented therapy. They combine traditional psychotherapy with a practical, problem-solving approach that creates a dynamic and efficient path for change and problem resolution. Clinical mental health counselors offer a full range of services, including: Assessment and diagnosis Psychotherapy Treatment planning and utilization review Brief and solution-focused therapy Alcoholism and substance abuse treatment Psychoeducational and prevention programs Crisis Management In today's managed care environment, clinical mental health counselors are uniquely qualified to meet the challenges of providing high quality care in a cost-effective manner. CMHCs have a foundational skillset that is distinct from those of other behavioral health disciplines. Their training in addressing the needs of the whole person and in wellness and prevention makes them well-situated to lead the effort in integrating health care. Graduate education and clinical training prepare clinical mental health counselors to provide a full range of services for individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. The core areas of mental health education programs approved by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) include: Diagnosis and psychopathology Psychological testing and assessment Professional orientation Research and program evaluation Group counseling Human growth and development Counseling theory Social and cultural foundations Lifestyle and career development Supervised practicum and internship Licensure requirements for clinical mental health counselors are equivalent to those for clinical social workers and marriage and family therapists, two other disciplines that require a master's degree for independent status. A licensed clinical mental health counselor has met or exceeded the following professional qualifications: Earned a master's degree in counseling or a closely related mental health discipline; Completed a minimum of two years post-master's clinical work under the supervision of a licensed or certified mental health professional; and Passed a state-developed or national licensure or certification examination. Where can I find a clinical mental health counselor? Clinical mental health counselors practice in a variety of settings, including: private practice community agencies managed behavioral health care organizations integrated delivery systems hospitals employee assistance programs, and substance abuse treatment centers What makes a good counselor? Great question! The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies says it best: "When people look for mental health treatment for themselves or a loved one, it is common to search for a psychotherapy provider who may have availability in their schedule, desired fees, or is covered by a specific insurance plan. However, it is essential that people in search of treatment also get specific information about the type of treatment that a mental health care provider will offer." Watch the video below from the Veterans Health Administration to learn what it means to have "evidence-based" treatment programs. What is AMHCA? The American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) is the professional membership organization that represents the clinical mental health counseling profession. Clinical membership in AMHCA requires a master's degree in counseling or a closely related mental health field and adherence to AMHCA's National Standards for Clinical Practice. Rapid changes in the health care marketplace make it more necessary than ever for AMHCA members to make their voices known to this Congress. Click to read a brief history of our organization. Through a set group of standards and ethics for mental health counselors, AMHCA is dedicated to training and cultivating excellent practitioners. We want to break through walls of stigma and show how excellent mental health counselors change lives and improve mental health. AMHCA offers many different ways for counselors to improve their excellence in any field they work in.

He treats the whole patient and not just their mental health diagnosis. He especially pays attention to his patients strengths and how they are functioning in all the important spheres of their life be it school, work, relationships or something else.

Residential Inpatient treatment in Arizona (AZ) usually consists of 24 hour care at a live-in facility. Full treatment services, including medical and behavioral therapy are provided all at one location near Arizona (AZ). Inpatient care offers a structured atmosphere and allows the client and providers to focus on physical and psychological healing. OUTPATIENT TREATMENT: WHAT'S INVOLVED? Outpatient treatment programs in Arizona (AZ) or clinics provide flexibility to those who are unable to take time away from their regular lives, work or school. Programs typically meet at the clinic a couple of times every week for a few hours at a time. Because clients are living away from the centers, outpatient facilities in Arizona (AZ) are less able to focus on medical conditions and nutritional needs. Certain programs provide a combination of the in/out approach: Inpatient for medical stabilization, partial hospitalization for moderate cases, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient clinics for follow-up. Treatment Type INPATIENT OR OUTPATIENT: WHAT'S RIGHT FOR ME? * How much can you afford? Generally, Arizona (AZ) outpatient treatment is cheaper than inpatient treatment because housing is not provided and fewer hours of treatment (and often fewer therapy alternatives) are offered. * Are you able to control your behaviors? Inpatient treatment provides constant supervision to offset the temptation of drugs or eating disordered behavior in the early stages of treatment. * Follow-up support network near Arizona (AZ)? If you do decide to attend inpatient treatment, look for a center that can offer you or direct you to another service where you will be provided with follow-up care after you leave in an effort to avoid relapse. * Is your condition severe? Constant medical attention is given to those in inpatient care, which may be especially important for those with pain and eating disorders. How Treatment Centers Can Help ALCOHOL AND DRUG REHAB Treatment centers in Arizona (AZ) help clients with substance abuse issues, drug abuse and pain treatment. Drug detox or alcohol detox is the first step on the road to recovery from drug addiction or alcohol addiction and a clean life. After detoxing, the rehabilitation process can begin. EATING DISORDER TREATMENT Eating Disorder treatment centers in Arizona (AZ) help treat a range of problem eating and food issues such as childhood feeding disorders, food avoidance, obesity, Anorexia, Bulimia or compulsive overeating, binge eating, night eating and body image issues. They address the destructive behaviors and underlying emotional issues of disordered eating.
