If you start seeing a client with an old scholarship voucher number, please reach out to\u00a0Ravi\u00a0<\/a>so he can give you the history of the scholarship and how many available sessions the client currently has.\u00a0*We cannot pay for sessions that occur outside of the approved session count amount*<\/em><\/p>\n 2. As the year is coming to a close, we would like to stay informed of any changes you or your practice are making in 2024, such as changes to accepted insurances, staffing changes, etc. This helps us be as effective as possible with our mental health care coordination services and scholarship appointments. Please email\u00a0Ravi<\/a>\u00a0with any of these expected changes coming to your practice in 2024.<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0New reimbursement rates<\/u>\u00a0are coming in 2024 to our Mountain Strong scholarship provider network.\u00a0Please be on the lookout for new agreements that need to be signed in Mountain Strong by January 1st, 2024<\/strong>\u00a0in order to receive the new rates.

This program was originally developed to respond to the need for quicker access to therapy appointments and fill a gap that was evident in the community due to a lack of service provision by the then functioning CMHC.\u00a0\u00a0Building Hope is excited that now in 2023, Vail Health Behavioral Health (VHBH) has joined the Summit County community as the Community Mental Health Center, increasing access to care, wrap-around services of case management, peer support, psychiatric services and more. Over the next several months, Building Hope will be working with VHBH and Immediate Access Program partners to transition the clients in need of immediate access slots to our new CMHC, Vail Health Behavioral Health. The immediate access program was originally founded as a gap service and funded through Strong Future funding. Now that Summit County has a present CMHC that is meant to provide these services, funded through state funds and reimbursable means, our community can rely on VHBH to care for these needs and allow the community Strong Future funds to be better utilized in other community programs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Additionally, a new mobile crisis provider will be entering the Summit County mental health landscape in early 2024, further enhancing our community crisis response and wrap around support for our community members. Building Hope will be working with current immediate access providers to decrease the slots available through the shared calendar and increase the referrals being sent to VHBH for these needs. It is with great success that this program has been meeting the needs of the community and we are so thankful that the community can begin to phase out the Building Hope immediate access program by\u00a0mid-2024.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Here is the referral process VHBH would like for Summit County providers to follow at this time:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Outpatient therapy and psychiatry referrals can get emailed directly to Paige Braxton, Director of Outpatient Services directly:\u00a0paige.braxton@ -Clients in crisis can get referred directly to Paige via email for a risk assessment and\/or immediate access therapy with “immediate access needed” or “crisis client” in the subject line (or some other indication that this is a high acuity\/time sensitive referral)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This program is an example of the incredible work that Summit County partners do together- taking a need, assessing the options available, working collaboratively, and solving a problem for our community members. We, at Building Hope, feel truly grateful for all of you who have stepped up in big ways for your community through the development and function of this program. We understand and acknowledge that change is challenging and we do not suspect a totally flaw-free transition of this program, yet we know that this community can work together to support new partners and ensure Summit County is taken care of.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you for all of your work and continued partnership.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Art as Therapy Workshop:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Building Hope, in conjunction with CSU-Extension, invites local providers to participate in this FREE workshop to learn more about art therapy interventions and how they can use art in a therapeutic way with their clients.

Patients are typically seen virtually every 2-4 weeks and will need to be established in the MAT clinic prior, but do not necessarily need to be on any MAT medications. *FRC can see folks who do not have a SUD but all patients will be seen by an SUD\/MAT provider first, so please prepare clients you are referring to FRC that this is their process*<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This\u00a0program\u00a0is aimed at helping\u00a0newcomers- residents in Summit County who have recently moved to the USA from the South border.

For many years we have been filling a need in the community by offering Mental Health Navigation as a stopgap, since professional Mental Health resources for Spanish and English-speaking clients were very hard to come by. Thanks to vision of County Government and Building Hope, these much-needed services are now being offered in our community through Strong Futures funding and more services. Thus, FIRC has seen a significant decrease over the last year in the need for Navigation services overall and we have come to the decision that our services are duplicating what is being offered in the community, and so, are no longer needed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Conversations at the county level were held to determine what was best for the continuity of mental health care in in the community, but most importantly, to ensure clients had resources to go to, avoiding foreseeable gaps. FIRC will keep our website self-referrals to mental health navigation active until the end of December. Those referrals will be routed directly to Building Hope. Starting January 2024 our website will still provide mental health resources for our community, but in the form of links and phone numbers to Building Hope, Vail Health Behavioral Health, and Mile High Behavioral Health. Additionally, it is important to note that our Peer Programs are still being offered. Both ALMA and ACCION provide mental health support for our Latinx community in the form of peer groups and one-on-one sessions with Compa\u00f1eras\/os.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We want to thank you, our community partners, for the support and referrals to our Mental Health Navigation program over the years! It has been a pleasure working with you all, and we hope to continue those relationships but in different contexts and capacities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please share this message to whomever this information might be relevant, and please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out with any questions!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Best,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hannah Gall, MBA<\/strong>\u00a0(she\/her\/hers)<\/em><\/p>\n Community Health Program Manager<\/p>\n Office: 970-313-4226 | Mobile: 720-988-6728<\/p>\n Office Hours: Mon-Thur 9am-5pm<\/p>\n www.summitfirc.org<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0hannahg@ Strong Families.

I am an intern for Kristen Greenwald at Wild Nature Wellness and am currently working with the Wild Youth Passages program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am hoping to begin seeing individual clients and am passionate about mental health and wellness in our community. I have a background working as a preschool and toddler teacher for five years, am passionate about working with children, and am under the supervision of a certified synergetic play therapist.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am willing to work with adult clients, adolescents, and children.\u00a0\u00a0I am interested in working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, behavioral issues, and clients who simply need help navigating being human. I currently utilize CBT, Solution-focused brief therapy, and person-centered approaches, with an emphasis on mindfulness but hope to practice an integrative and eclectic approach with clients.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am available to see clients Thursdays, Fridays, or Saturday mornings and am located in Dillon, CO.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I can take Medicaid and Rocky Mtn. HMO clients or out of pocket clients for $25 a session.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I can be contacted by email or through phone at:<\/p>\n Email:\u00a0shannon@ Phone: 970-486-3343<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have lived in Summit County for a long time and am passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment for clients.
