Other social situations, such\nas asking someone on a date or knowing how to interact with others at\nthe holiday party are also common scenarios that can sometimes\nbe challenging.

Psychiatric Evaluation<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In order for our staff to accurately and effectively meet the needs of\nour clients, a psychiatric evaluation is necessary. The evaluation\nallows us to gather pertinent information about the clients, including\npresent issues or challenges and specific mental health symptoms. We\nalso take a detailed look at the client\u2019s family relationships,\nphysical and mental health history. We will also evaluate\nadditional information that will help us better serve our clients.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The evaluation is performed in order to properly diagnose behavioral and\nemotional disorders, as well as developmental conditions and mental\ndisorders.

Medication Management<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Medication management entails using prescribed psychotropic medication\nfor the treatment of various psychiatric illnesses. Medication is\nprescribed using the most reliable protocols, based on research and\nevidence of effectiveness. We establish our protocols in coordination\nwith the professional services, therapists and treatments provided at\nFace to Face Mental Health Services. With medication management, our\nmedical staff is able to monitor medication and treatment, which\nminimizes harmful side effects. We work to make adjustments to\nmedications and dosages as needed, and assist patients in renewing their\nmedication.<\/p>\n

We understand that incorporating medication into a treatment routine can\nbe challenging for some of our clients. It often takes the body time to\nadjust to new substances, and patients should be aware of the mental and\nphysical side effects that some medications may cause. It may also be\nnecessary to recommend lifestyle adjustments to increase the safety and\neffectiveness of the medication. Managing medication is vital for\npatients who are taking more than one prescribed treatment to ensure\nthat the medications do not have a negative reaction with one another.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Targeted Case Management<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"<\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our case managers are an integral part of the clinical management team\nhere at Face To Face Mental Health Services. Our professional team provides clinical support as we\ncollaborate with fellow professionals involved in client care.

We are community advocates for our patients.

Assessment<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our outpatient clients will meet with an intake clinician for a detailed\nassessment. The clinician will gather pertinent details to provide a\ndetailed assessment. During the interview process, the clinician will\ntake a thorough look at current issues the patient is experiencing. This\nincludes learning the psychosocial history of the patient and their\ncurrent or previous use of substances. The intake clinician also\nevaluates the medical history of the client and determines the strength\nof the client\u2019s current support system, while addressing specific needs\nor concerns. This is the time when the role of the clinician will be\nclarified concerning the specific case of the client. The assessment\nwill include any psychiatric evaluation recommendations, case management\nstrategies and medication services.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Once the assessment is complete, the clinician will schedule a therapist\nappointment for the client within one week. The purpose of this is to\nprovide ongoing treatment for the client and to give the client a safe\nspace to discuss the various facets of his\/her treatment plan. We want\nour clients to play an active role in their care, because we believe\nthat when clients feel valued, they will be more likely to continue with\nthe recommendations and medications that will help them to get the most\nout of every aspect of life.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Marriage and Family Therapy<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      The family unit has different meanings to different people. Family\ndynamics determine our interpretation of life, our behaviors and habits,\nand the way we interact with others. Being part of a family gives us a\nsense of belonging and can make us feel loved and supported. A person\u2019s\nfamily history can also explain certain trauma, genetic disposition and\nmental disorders.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
