Behavioral Health Home Services

A whole-person model of care that addresses behavioral, physical, and social needs.

JGPH Behavioral Health Home is not a physical place, but a model of compassionate, personalized care for people with physical and mental illness. Our whole-person approach to healthcare addresses physical health and offers behavioral health services. Together, we can help you thrive.

What Are Behavioral Health Home Services JGPH #

Behavioral Health Home offers expansive services, providing enhanced care and support to people living with both physical and mental illnesses. We offer extra assistance in the recovery process, addressing social, physical, and behavioral health needs. Our services include lifestyle management, physical health care, and family support. 

Our Health Home services assist people in every aspect of their recovery process, providing an intensive layer of support not available through other providers. You’ll find:

Comprehensive care management #

Our expert staff members collaborate to coordinate whole-person care. These services include primary and behavioral health and social services. Our Health Home team identifies each patient’s needs and creates a personalized, evidence-based therapy plan to implement across the entire Health Home service.

Health promotion #

Evidence shows that physical and mental health are closely related. Too often, people with persistent and severe mental illnesses are unable to access much-needed physical health care. We connect you or your loved one to outside providers that help manage chronic illnesses and other physical health conditions. 

Comprehensive transitional care #

We ease patients into long-term care services and support their follow-up mental health care. This process reduces hospital admissions and emergency department visits, creating a proactive treatment environment. When people can manage their care effectively, they can live safely in their community.

Support services for individuals and families #

We provide an extra layer of support to assist and empower individuals, families, and caregivers in improving health and ability to function in the community. These services include health counseling, medical care coordination, targeted interventions, and access to healthcare specialists. We also manage referrals to community-based services and other social supports as needed. 

Why Choose Behavioral Health Home Services at JGPH #

Research has indicated that due to a lack of healthcare, people living with severe mental illness have a lifespan that is 14 to 32 years shorter than that of the general population. With our network of experienced providers using evidence-based practices, Sheppard Pratt is working to change the statistics. We offer:
