Wellness Program Description
At CenClear, we focus on the integration of physcial health and behavioral health care. CenClear outpatient therapists, blended case managers, and certified peer and recovery specialists all receive training in wellness coaching with the support of wellness nurses to help individuals achieve their wellness goals. In addition, wellness nurses are available for more intense physical health needs.
What is Wellness? Wellness is "an active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards a healthy and fulfilling life." https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/health-and-wellness/eight-dimensions-wellness
Caring for your physical health is as important as caring for your mental health. Integrating physical health and behavioral health care helps ensure health needs are addressed holistically and can lead to better treatment, outcomes and quality of life. https://heartsandminds.nami.org/

How do I get help with physical health concerns?
If you are currently involved in our mental health or substance use disorders outpatient services, blended case management program, mobile psychiatric rehabilitation services, certified peer specialist or certified recovery specialist programs, talk to your service provider about your concerns. They can work with you to identify wellness goals and support you with achieving those goals. If more intensive support is needed, you can request to talk with a wellness nurse.
