The complexity of managing these conditions often increases the challenges of treating and preventing additional chronic health issues, both behavioral and somatic. Those with behavioral health conditions face unique barriers in addressing their physical health needs, resulting in disproportionately poor health outcomes, low engagement in preventive health efforts, and high rates of avoidable hospital and emergency department (ED)encounters. Health Home assists participants of all ages in improving overall wellness through a whole-person approach to addressing their behavioral, somatic, and social needs. Becoming a Health Home allows behavioral health providers to augment their existing services, building upon and adding to their staff and activities to better serve participants. This is accomplished through connecting participants and caregivers to the myriad of supports and services available to them, offering health promotion activities, monitoring both somatic and behavioral health needs, and assisting with transitional care. The Health Home becomes the locus of care, building participants’ self-management capacity while reducing avoidable hospital usage and ultimately improving outcomes.   Like adults with serious mental illness, children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance face an elevated risk of adverse health consequences. While all Health Homes aim to reduce these negative outcomes, those serving children emphasize coordinated prevention, health promotion, and wellness activities that focus on their health-related choices and behaviors. These efforts involve augmenting the existing services provided to children with SED through not only the somatic and behavioral health care systems, but also through local school systems, the child welfare and juvenile justice authorities when applicable, and other child and family service providers as appropriate.   Job Type: Part-time   (Not approved for MCPS SSL hours.
