Mental Health and Wellness Matters:

New Hub offers access to behavioral health assessments and appointments.

Mental health and wellness are a vital part of whole health for everyone. Like other health issues, mental disorders can affect women and men differently. Here in the US, women are twice as likely to experience mental health issues than men. Some of the more common disorders in women include depression and anxiety.

For all of us, the stigma attached to acknowledging and reaching out for help with a mental health issue can keep people from receiving proven, effective care to help. That is part of the reason AdventHealth Hendersonville has created a new Behavioral Health Hub, a resource for patients to receive behavioral health support.

People aged 18 or older, who are not experiencing thoughts of harm to themselves or others, can call the Behavioral Health Hub anytime and speak with a specially trained nurse. Based on the conversation, the nurse will schedule an appointment during times designated specifically for people reaching out through the Behavioral Health Hub. All behavioral health assessments are completed by one of AdventHealth’s licensed providers.

If the nurse determines the caller needs more immediate assistance, they will guide the patient or family member on the next steps to take, up to and including going to the nearest emergency department.
