Our team of community health case managers and patient navigators work to ensure that those in our region who most need it are connected to services to get healthy and stay healthy. These programs include programs to stop the spread of HIV and hepatitis; collaboration with Navos to provide substance abuse and mental health treatment; media campaigns to prevent and reduce substance abuse among young adults; and partnerships with the Seattle World School to provide health care to immigrant and refugee students.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Programs
Preventing HIV, AIDS, and Hepatitis
Since 2002, Neighborhood House has received funding from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to reduce and prevent the transmission of HIV and hepatitis. We provide free education workshops as well as counseling, testing, and referrals.
Integrating Care
Funded by SAMHSA, Community Outreach, Referral, and Engagement, or CORE, takes a holistic approach to patient care. By collaborating with community mental health clinics and other behavioral health providers, we integrate substance abuse and mental health treatment; HIV and hepatitis counseling; testing and medical care; homelessness services; and prevention services all under one roof. Our program provides outreach to recruit clients, case management, and linkage to the Coordinated Entry system, as well as mental health, co-occurring disorders, and other wrap-around services.
