"Improve Access. Improve Capacity. Raise Awareness."

OVERVIEW

  • Our Adult Bridge Outpatient Program is a Family Based Wraparound treatment for adults who are experiencing chronic or severe mental health concerns, at risk for out of home placement, or had recent hospitalizations. It is a program that is bult as a step-down & a step-up mental health treatment option for people who need more than once-weekly therapy providing structured treatment clients need to thrive. It is used to increase safety and stability at home so adults can stay with their family. The program addresses the behavioral health issues that put adults at risk.

  • Individuals who would benefit from a step-up treatment solution may be currently attending traditional once-weekly therapy but still seriously struggling with their mental health. For example: symptoms not improving, work issues, getting fired from jobs, legal issues, or family issues 

  • Individuals who would benefit from a step-down treatment solution may have been recently discharged from an ER, residential treatment program, acute hospitalization, inpatient treatment facility, released from being incarcerated, or involvement with probation & parole, or family court/DCBS due to abuse/neglect charges

  • At the same time, it helps with:

    • Positive Development​

    • Resilience (the Ability to Bounce Back)

    • Healthy Family Functioning

  • Evidenced-based treatment - Our clinicians use evidenced based therapies, including DBT skills, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy, brief strategic family therapy and more to foster sustainable healing to change unhealthy thinking and behavior.

WHY THE BRIDGE

  • Wraparound services for youth & adults at risk of removal serving all of Northern Kentucky

  • Ideal for children and adults involved with DCBS, stepping down from a higher level of care, recent acute hospitalization, residential stay or at risk of out-of-home placement.

  • Designed to support those with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED), Serious Mental Illness (SMI), and Substance Use Disorders (SUD).

  • Counseling + Targeted Case Management combined for measurable results.

  • Case Managers can meet clients & families in the home & community – there are actual eyes in the home to help make systemic change!  

  • Accepting all Kentucky Medicaid

  • The majority of the services offered in the office setting and on an as-needed basis in the patients' homes. Our care navigators mostly provide personalized care and attention to patients in their own space, and we also offer the option for therapists to provide in-home services if they choose to. 

  • Services are provided in the office setting, home and community for six months or longer depending on the severity of what is going on.

  • For the Bridge Outpatient Program, each youth participant must receive both weekly individual counseling and weekly family counseling. The program offers three different options for the number of hours per case per week: 60 individual / 60 family, 45 individual / 45 family, or 60 individual / 30 family.

  • The program works with the youth, family and other people who support the family to decrease symptoms and create a safe and stable home.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

  • The family will work with their clinician to schedule one to two sessions each week or more as needed. Hours for sessions are flexible. Session types, frequency and length are determined on a case-by-case basis to meet the needs of each youth and family.

  • The clinician and family will discuss safety planning across environments (home, school, community) to reduce risk factors and ensure a safe environment for each youth.

  • A psychiatrist referral can be made, if needed.

  • The care plan or next referral will be discussed with the family and other team members to assure sustainability of treatment successes after the program.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

  • Personalized Care & Treatment

  • Prevention, not placement – helping families stay together.

  • One referral = complete support.

  • Family stability starts here.

  • Services include both individual and family counseling, targeted case management/coordination, and skill-building to strengthen relationships, improve communication, manage conflict, and navigate life changes.

  • Counseling is flexible — we offer in-office, virtual, or community-based sessions depending on the client’s identified needs. We truly meet families where they are in their recovery so Clients can keep up with their lives and routines while in treatment
