B. Organization Capability (Continued) 4. How does your program differ from similar ones provided in the community? How do the programs tnose orrerea ov otner Besides the IRMC emergency department, there is no other program in Indian River County that provides urgent mental health screening, risk assessment, and crisis intervention services, to Indian River County residents regardless of ability to pay. Clients who are seen for screening on a walk-in basis at the Mental Health Association Walk -In Center, who prefer to have ongoing services at another mental health agency and are able to afford it, are referred out to the agency of their choice. The Mental Health Association in Indian River County's participation in several mental health related community groups keeps staff abreast of services available to benefit our clients and also ensures programs are not duplicative. The most critical of these groups is the Mental Health Collaborative in Indian River County whose main purpose is to encourage collaboration among mental health agencies and discourage duplication of services. The Mental Health Association in Indian River County strives to overcome the stigma of mental illness by building awareness and knowledge among everyone in the community through community outreach. 5.
