The thing that I really want to focus on today as far as the business of mental health is how hard it is for the small provider to operate in the system that we have.
In this enlightening episode of Mental Health News Radio, host Kristen Sunanta-Walker and co-host Dave Ballenberger delve into the complex world of non-profit mental health treatment centers with guest Pastor Eddie Williams, CEO of Lakeridge Village. Located in Detroit, Lakeridge Village is a transitional housing and recovery program that has evolved over the years to provide essential support to those in need.
Pastor Williams shares the challenges faced by small providers in the mental health sector, highlighting the difficulties in navigating the current system. He emphasizes the need for more crisis centers and beds, and the importance of securing funding to support these initiatives. The conversation touches upon the significance of block grants for non-profit agencies and the collaboration required with hospitals to enhance mental health services.
A notable mention is made of Next Step Solutions, an organization that provides electronic health record (EHR) systems to mental health agencies. Pastor Williams and Dave Ballenberger discuss how these systems have revolutionized the way mental health data is handled, offering efficiency and adaptability in the face of industry changes. Throughout the episode, the importance of training for new personnel in the mental health field is emphasized, considering the evolving political and social landscape.
Pastor Williams reflects on his journey, from the initial challenges of starting Lakeridge Village to the successes achieved through persistent effort and collaboration. Listeners are encouraged to learn more about Lakeridge Village by visiting their online platforms. The episode concludes with expressions of gratitude and hope, underscoring the belief that through continued hard work, the challenges of mental health care can be overcome.
