Eggleston Behavioral Health Services
Even in the best of circumstances, people are challenged daily. Unexpected situations and unavoidable trauma can cause undue stress and alter state of mind in those you care about. If left untreated, it affects family and community.
The reasons behind one’s need for services can include emotional disabilities, learning disabilities, childhood trauma, substance abuse, environmental stress, and more. With our expansive options for treatment, feeling better happens through a compassionate and carefully planned course of action.
If you were to stare into the eyes of a child who has seen more in her lifetime than most adults could ever imagine, let alone process, how would you begin to heal the past? It starts here and now.
Eggleston Behavioral Health Services (EBHS) is a county contracted, outpatient program providing a community-based approach to behavioral health. Too many children and young adults in our neighborhoods suffer from chronic and persistent mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, and/or co-occurring substance abuse disorders. Without the help needed, compromised mental health will continue to escalate with age and, in turn, adversely affect longevity.
Mental illness is prevalent amongst those exposed to violence, ongoing physical or emotional abuse and sexual assault. For some, mental health disorders develop as a preventative measure to what the mind cannot handle. For other children and teens, depression and anxiety are the backlash of symptoms that indicate an overabundance of emotional hardships, without reprieve. The repercussions can seem never-ending.
Participation in any of our behavioral health services requires an initial assessment to better understand the client and recommend the services needed.
The single greatest take away we hope EBHS participants experience is that no matter the challenges, each has the ability to rise above them and realize personal potential.
Through the creation of individualized treatment programs that are trauma informed and culturally sensitive, every child, every teenager, and every young adult can face life circumstances through new perspectives, leading to better decision-making and greater acceptance in themselves and others. And because not all youth come from the same type of household, our programs consider these differences.
We meet each client where they are in their mental health journey and provide the guidance, support and emotional building blocks needed to reduce symptoms and maladaptive behaviors related to their diagnosis to ultimately improve livelihood.
Through our mental health treatment programs, EBHS places a strong focus on family participation utilizing the strengths of both the client and the family or caregiver. This provides added support from the collateral and therapeutic outpatient services we offer.
