Did you know that nearly half of all visits to primary care physicians are due to conditions caused or exacerbated by mental or emotional problems?

These problems are best addressed early, and the Bridges program can help. We offer a variety of behavioral health and mental health services in the primary care physician's office. We can provide triage and treatment in pediatric and family primary care offices where clinicians work with children who have medical and mental health concerns, and you can refer your patients directly to the program.

Contact us today to find out how we can help you.

Prevention
Through this program, clinicians are able to assess and treat mental health symptoms early to prevent more serious problems in the future.

Education
The medical staff at the physician office has the opportunity to interact with and learn about mental health diagnoses, levels of treatment, and medication management from the Bridges' clinician and psychiatrist.

Referrals to this program can be made by pediatricians and school personnel. For more information, contact the Bridges for Education and Medicine program or Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic.
