Plan of Care
The County of Siskiyou Behavioral Health Plan involves members in
setting their treatment goals and in planning their care. Members may
request a second opinion regarding their care. They may also request a
change of clinician or case manager, subject to the Plan’s ability to
meet the request.
Cultural Competence
County of Siskiyou Behavioral Health Services is committed to an ideal
that honors the uniqueness of all cultures. Services are provided with
respect for cultural values, traditions and differences -- whether of
age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion or sexual preference. Our goal is
to foster partnership and inclusion that promotes mutual understanding
and respect for diversity.
Confidentiality
Behavioral Health Services staff, contracted agencies and providers
follow legal procedures to honor the confidentiality of member services
and health records.
Suggestions for Improvement
Plan members’ and community members’ suggestions are an important part
of providing effective care. The Behavioral Health Plan has a suggestion
box at each site and conducts surveys to gather information to help us
better serve our community. Ideas may be submitted to the suggestion
boxes, Plan staff members and the Behavioral Health Board.
