Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services (GCBHS) would like to thank The Ohio Valley Foundation, Fifth Third Bank, N.A., Agent, for their support of our Hamilton County Behavioral Health Urgent Care (BHUC). The Foundation recently awarded the program with a $25,000 grant which will assist our organization in beginning Phase 1 of a multi-year expansion.
Jade Snyder is a nurse and has been with the BHUC since its launch, “I have witnessed firsthand how these services truly impact our clients. People in a mental health crisis deserve a safe place to seek urgent help where they can work with staff who are specifically trained to treat behavioral health matters. This funding will open our clients up to having their immediate psychiatric needs met promptly while simultaneously preventing hospitalization. It will also provide a space where clients are met exactly where they are at in their mental health journey and allow them to leave feeling respected and supported.
The Behavioral Health Urgent Care (BHUC) allows patients access to treatment much faster than in previous care models. Another huge benefit is that because the community has an additional resource, we can also relieve the stress on other emergency systems such as police and hospital emergency rooms who may already be stretched thin.
