OUR MISSION...

The mission of County of Siskiyou Behavioral Health Services is to work with the community to articulate healthy individual, family and community behaviors and to develop and support programs that build a behaviorally healthy community.

In pursuit of our mission, we:

• Provide the highest quality behavioral healthcare in the most effective and efficient manner possible;

• Provide education, prevention, treatment and outreach for individuals requesting or requiring services.

• Promote ongoing recovery and emotional and mental well-being and stability;

• Value all individuals by treating them with kindness, respect for their right to self-determination, and respect for cultural values, traditions, and differences;

• Inspire, within our community, connection and involvement based upon compassion towards humankind;

• Extend behavioral health services to public agencies and communities through consultation, prevention, and education;

• Implement policies and procedures and comply with all regulations in a manner that facilitates the most effective and efficient provision of services.

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.
