We see a huge connection between our substance users and mental health and that co-occurring piece, as well as connecting with community.
How do you tackle substance use and mental health barriers in a community already stretched thin? In this episode of 'A Place for Everyone', Beth Hall Roalstad sits down with Amanda Smith, Director of Substance Use Disorders and Case Management, and E.J. Rickey, Vice-President of Marketing and Communication Strategy at Diversus Health, to address these pressing issues. Diversus Health, formerly known as AspenPointe, is at the forefront of providing essential services like counseling, psychiatry, addictions support, and crisis intervention.
Amanda and E.J. share how the pandemic has reshaped their approach, introducing telehealth services to meet rising demands. They stress the importance of connecting individuals to the right kind of care, especially when mental health concerns intersect with substance use. This episode dives into the various resources available for recovery, including peer support and same-day assessments, making it clear that help is available when you need it most.
