Southwest Behavioral Health Center: Case Study

My community clinical was at the Denver House Mental Health Association located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is a day center for targeted for the people with mental illnesses and homeless, which opened in 2012 (mhaok.org). Many of the homeless population in Tulsa, Ok suffer from a mental illness. Due to the lack of resources in our community, those who suffer from a mental illness end up on the streets. The day center provides a safe warm place for the homeless and those with mental illnesses. They provide a stigma free welcoming environment were those feel welcome to come and interact with peers. The organization also has specific workers that help with finding shelter, apartments, and jobs. They also have a community closet for clothing that is open every Tuesday and Thursday. You must be 18 years old, be drug free while on premises, and follow basic rules to come to the Denver House.

Creating an individual service project has allowed me to add depth to my high school career and provide an opportunity for my school to reach out to the globe.

College students and others can enhance the agency’s program by following my experience and volunteering and educating themselves on behavioral health. Raising money to provide resources needed to help the Cone Health team and their patients fight their issues would also substantially aide the program. Some of my top suggestions for fundraisers include a car wash on the weekend, a bake sale in the midst of a long-awaited sporting event, and selling bracelets that bring light to specific behavioral illnesses.

Project Horizon had challenged me to grow my knowledge, my skills as a nurse and communicator, and to enrich my values and attitude in a personal, professional and social manner to help those in need in my community. The whole experience opened my eyes to a part of my community that I was not familiar with.

My rotation was at IMMACARE Shelter, a non-profit organization which purpose is to help the homeless population at the Hartford area. The shelter serves 75 homeless males from the area, especially veterans and those with HIV/AIDS, criminal histories,

The Behavioral Health Services outpatient clinic is located in a diverse community in Williamsburg Brooklyn, and although the organization’s mission reflects service delivery to multicultural populations in the borough, the agency service towards the Latino population continues to show high in numbers for clients’ satisfaction with services, more than other populations.

The agency services do not appear to be culturally

Attending McLeod Behavioral health, was a wonderful learning experience. I was given the opportunity to interact with several of the patients and learn how they viewed their illness. One of the patients described her illness as being “trapped in a box.” When asked to explain her comparison, she stated that her illness would cause her to hear several voices. She stated, “I try to plug my ears with tissue, but sometimes that does not work and all I can do is just listen, like a person would if trapped inside a box and cannot get out.” This was very interesting for me because I gained insight on the how the patient defined her illness.
