September is Healthy Aging Month!

Healthy aging is about more than just physical health. It includes our mental and emotional well-being, social connections, access to care, sense of purpose, and ability to remain connected to our communities.

For older adults, behavioral health is an important part of the picture.

At BHN, we strive to help improve health outcomes and strengthen the system of care for individuals in our community. This includes supporting regional efforts aimed at providing resources and care coordination for older adults.

Looking for resources for yourself, a loved one, or a caregiver? Swipe for some local and national resources to help you get started.

Throughout July, we have been asking BHN team members, "What is something about BHN that you want people in the community to know?"

This week, we asked Jeff, Peer Coordinator for the EPICC program. His response:

"To me, BHN is an advocate for the community. It is a home for innovative programs geared toward helping others in need and operated by those with a commitment to serve."

To learn more about EPICC and how Peer Coordinators like Jeff advocate for and support individuals in recovery, visit bhnstl.org/our-work/supporting-recovery/

Throughout the month of July, BHN is asking team members, "What is something about BHN that you want people in the community to know?"

Today we asked Yolanda, Program Manager for the Maternal Health Access Project (MHAP). This is her response:

"What I’d like the community to know about BHN is that we’re here to make sure people don’t have to navigate life challenges alone. We help connect people to support, resources, and the right opportunities for care by bringing organizations, services, and communities together. Our goal is simple: make it easier to find help, build hope, and ensure fewer individuals and families fall through the cracks."

We couldn't have said it better, Yolanda!

Throughout the month of July, BHN is asking staff, "What is something about BHN that you want people in the community to know?"

Today we asked Phoenix, the Program Coordinator for the Bridges to Care and Recovery (BCR) program at BHN. This is her response:

"The thing people don't realize about Bridges [BCR] is that our trainings are actually open to anyone and everyone who is interested in learning more about mental health and su***de prevention."

Thanks for that reminder, Phoenix!

If you are interested in the BCR program’s mental health trainings and want to learn more, you may contact [email protected].

Throughout the month of July, BHN is asking staff, "What is something about BHN that you want people in the community to know?"

Today we asked Gabby, the EPICC Outcomes Manager at BHN. This is her response:

"One thing I want the community to know about BHN is that we are always willing to grow and adapt to what the community needs. If you come to BHN and you have a need or idea in mind, BHN is willing to explore those ideas and ways to implement them into the work we are already doing. We are always adaptable and willing to grow and change."

From our EPICC (Engaging Patients in Care Coordination) page:

"EPICC is always eager to grow as the substance use landscape changes, but we know the need still exists for peer support and linkages to care and wraparound services. Our team has started visiting hospitals in the region at night and on weekends to educate new staff and remind existing staff about the unique role EPICC plays in the community, and we will be handing out some gift bags as well!

Please reach out to us if you'd like to set up a training with you or your team. Our trainings take less than 10 minutes but provide life-saving information that helps keep people out of the hospital and connected to services."
