The Behavioral Health Care Team
Your Elara Caring Behavioral Health Care Team
Our behavioral health care teams support individuals with a wide range of behavioral and psychiatric health conditions with a focus on assessment, education and action plans.
Your behavioral health team may include a nurse and social worker.
Nurses
Nurses work with patients and their healthcare providers to develop an individualized care plan to meet their needs. They offer medication management and education and provide diagnosis-specific programs and tools to address issues like anxiety and depression, substance use, trauma and PTSD.
Social Workers
Social workers provide emotional support, counseling and coping strategies to patients and families. They connect patients and families with community resources, support groups, financial assistance programs and other services to address their social, emotional and practical needs.
Occupational Therapists (OTs)
Occupational therapists are uniquely equipped to help teach or re-teach activities of daily living such as getting out of bed, bathing, transferring, dressing, preparing meals and much more. OTs can help patients restore function, maximize independence and increase home safety, fall prevention and psychosocial wellbeing.
