ABOUT CAMHP:
The Center for Advanced Mental Health Practice (CAMHP) was founded in 2012 as a grassroots therapeutic model for treatment based on a psychoanalytic theory framework integrated into a social work paradigm. The core philosophy of CAMHP is to address psychological struggles while simultaneously tackling the demands that can exacerbate already existing problems, such as housing, finances, education, and family needs.
CAMHP’s innovative approach involves a team effort among various professionals, including the patient, therapist, peer support specialist, case manager, medical management, home health aid, and representative payee services. This multidisciplinary team works together to create psychological, social, and financial stability for the patients we serve.
By integrating psychoanalytic theory with social work practices, CAMHP aims to provide a holistic and comprehensive approach to mental health treatment. The center recognizes that mental health issues do not exist in a vacuum and that addressing external factors is crucial to the overall improved quality of life.
Our mission at CAMHP is twofold;1) to serve our patients and the community to the best of our ability, and 2) to improve the quality of public social services that negatively impact those we serve. The center strives to achieve this mission through two key approaches:
- Bringing technology advancement to patients to improve their quality of life
- Providing advanced and ongoing academic training for CAMHP staff to keep the organization at the forefront of therapeutic treatment in mental health, behavioral economics, and social policy.
By focusing on these areas, CAMHP seeks to directly engage in components that affect the well-being of our patients and the broader community.
CAMHP recognizes the potential for technology to enhance the delivery of mental health services and improve patient outcomes. By integrating cutting-edge technologies into their treatment models, the center aims to make mental health care more accessible, efficient, and effective. This may include the use of telehealth services, mobile apps for symptom tracking and self-care, and digital tools for care coordination and communication among the multidisciplinary team.
.Through its multidisciplinary approach, integration of technology, and commitment to staff education, CAMHP strives to create a comprehensive and dynamic model of mental health care that empowers patients, strengthens communities, and promotes positive social change. The center’s mission and values are deeply rooted in the belief that addressing mental health requires a holistic approach that considers the complex interplay of psychological, social, and economic factors.
