Integrative Health at Colorado Mountain Medical aims to bridge the gap between mental health and physical wellness. Through the implementation of an integrative care model, Colorado Mountain Medical, a partner of Vail Health, strives to reduce the stigma of seeking behavioral health care, while improving access to services. Shannatay Bergeron of Colorado Mountain Medical and Casey Wolfington of Eagle Valley Behavioral Health have the details on how Colorado Mountain Medical patients benefit from integrative health.
Funding Expands Crisis Intervention Training – With the rising need for behavioral health crisis care, de-escalation education among first responders has become even more critical. The ability to assess a scene, ask the right questions, identify a person experiencing a mental health crisis, and alter tactics as needed requires training, knowledge, and awareness.
(Vail Daily) While the number won’t change much for local organizations operationally, it shows progress on mental health.
SpeakUp ReachOut provided suicide prevention training to 3,700 students and 2,000 adults in the Eagle River Valley over the past year because of the incredible generosity and compassion of individuals and businesses in our community. Vail Resorts EpicPromise Employee Foundation in particular supports our suicide prevention programs for students.
