LEWIS & CLARK BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC.

Investing in Community Innovation-Lewis & Clark Behavioral Services With support from the SDCF Beyond Idea Grant, LCBHS launched a pilot program aimed at improving the response and follow-up when there are behavioral health crisis situations in rural Union County. Throughout the project, LCBHS identified four main barriers: transportation challenges necessitating involuntary holds for travel to the Yankton crisis center, care coordination difficulties due to the proximity of Iowa and Minnesota borders, communication issues between law enforcement and mental illness board chairpersons, and the high costs and difficulty of spreading awareness about services in rural Southeast South Dakota. https://lnkd.in/giTTf-kE LEWIS & CLARK BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. #CommunityInnovation #SDCFBeyondIdea #BehavioralHealth #RuralHealthcare #MentalHealthAwareness
