It’s a lot to deal with

When your mental or emotional health isn’t good, every single aspect of your life is impacted. Not only do you need to manage your condition, but you need to do that within the ever-changing limitations you find yourself up against. It’s a lot.

There’s only so much a person can hold at once. Even with supportive family and professionals, sometimes you need an experienced, compassionate outsider to step in.

That’s why Integrated Health offers a support system. This support system gives you access to resources that will help you manage your condition. It can also provide you and your family with respite and other services to facilitate your recovery.

You’re fighting the good fight, and we’re on your side

Much as you push yourself, it can become impossible to do the things you need to do, like:
Find practitioners who really can help
Manage endless appointments and medications
Get the nutrition and amount of sleep that’s critical for your recovery
Be a caring, steady presence in the lives of your loved ones
Fill out form, after form, after form, and share your story again, and again, and again
When you’re battling an illness that is holding you captive, you need to focus all your energy on getting better. And we’re here to help you do just that.

Please don’t wait for things to spiral downward — it can take time to get approved.To find out if you’re eligible for support services, reach out.

Integrated Health is a pioneer program

Integrated Health is a program certified through the New York State Department of Health. It meets the acute need for better mental health care in our communities.

In the past, mental health and substance use issues were spot-treated as isolated problems, which was often ineffective. Now, the whole-person approach recognizes the critical need to address the bigger picture — the full rehabilitation of the person within their familiar community.

What Care Management can do for you

You may be eligible for a wide array of support, including:
Sourcing specialized doctors, therapists, and providers who have a strong reputation for treating your specific condition.
Steady emotional support
so you’re not left alone to deal with side effects and heavy emotions between appointments.
Help scheduling and keeping appointments, including transportation if needed.
Assistance with discharge in the event of hospitalization, as hospitals often require that you arrange for continuity of care.
Help applying for social services programs, like SNAP, SSI, HEAP, Section 8, childcare vouchers, and other benefits.
Referrals to interesting programs so you can study something you always wanted to learn, or employment assistance to help you find a job that is a good fit for your talents and gives you the flexibility you need right now.

Help from HARP that you may appreciate

If you’re eligible for HARP (Health and Recovery Plan) you can receive:
At-home therapy provided by a licensed therapist so you can be treated where it’s most comfortable for you.
Coaching in household and life skills, including organization, time management, marital and parenting skills, to help you create a warm, orderly home environment that promotes healing.
Healing social and recreational activities, like art and music, provided under clinical supervision to ease your journey to recovery.
Daily support from a DSP (Direct Support Professional), or worker, to continue rehabilitation treatment at home or in the community setting of your choice.
Family support from a professional who can explain your struggles to your family so they can be there for you.
Peer support so you can get validation and encouragement from someone who fought a similar battle and triumphed. You’ll pay it forward someday!

What to (and not to) say when explaining mental health challenges to children

“My family tried, they really did. Every day, a different sibling came over to prepare lunch with me. But I was tired of asking for favors, especially when there wasn’t much I could do in return. It sure feels better to get help from people who are getting paid for their time.”
