North Carolina Not Alone

Interface Consultation Services knows all-to-well the challenges and struggles experienced by both community-based and private mental health providers. In today's market, several key areas of concern for all mental health providers include access to mental health services, appropriate clinical assessments & interventions, level of care coordination and management of the mental health resources based on the right service, at the right time, in the right amount.

Our business' work in Michigan with several Community Mental Health agencies has given us a unique perspective on helping agencies achieve this delicate balance between their providing services while efficiently and responsibly managing the available monies. It is always a difficult balance for mental health providers who typically are oriented toward helping and giving and who struggle with any perception of rejecting or denying people help. Achieving this balance requires a willingness to consider both clinical and fiscal concerns simultaneously and address decisions diplomatically and with sensitivity.

Some States and local agencies continue to struggle with obtaining and then maintaining this balance. As an example, North Carolina is currently addressing this very issue. To illustrate their circumstance, link to http://www.fayobserver.com/article?id=253143.

Our motto is "key people, in key positions". It is one thing to conceptualize the problem and develop some policies and procedures; it's quite another to implement and operationalize those guidelines. This is were Interface Consultation Services fits in.
