SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Psychiatric Clinic Services: Psychiatrists and advanced practice nurses provide medication management and instruction about mental illness and the medication prescribed to treat the illness. Nursing staff provide assessments and insure linkages with the individual’s primary health care physician. The Board Certified Psychiatrists and Advance Practice Nurses are knowledgeable about and prescribe, if appropriate, the newer types of medications that are more effective in the treatment of symptoms associated with serious mental illness. Providers, along with care managers provide services through a team approach in TennCare's Tennessee Health Link program. Care Management: Care managers help individuals to link to services such as psychiatric clinic and physical health providers. They secure basic needs such as housing, SSI, food and medical services. Care managers provide support to help individuals with employment, education and social relationships. Care managers provide services in the community in a setting comfortable for the individual. Care managers advocate for individuals assuring each person has opportunities to reach his or her full potential.
