In a promising development, Easterseals Arkansas and Pinnacle Pointe Behavioral Healthcare have forged a partnership to bolster mental health services for individuals associated with Easterseals. The collaboration ensures an augmentation of services with offerings both onsite and through telehealth platforms.
Diversified Mental Health Services at a Single Venue
Clients of Easterseals now have the opportunity to access a variety of services at the Center for Training and Wellness, including individual, family, and group therapy sessions.
Further enhancing the service spectrum, they can opt for medication management or psychiatric evaluations facilitated by proficient psychiatrists, based on clinical suggestions or personal preference. Moreover, people with advanced needs can avail themselves of support from Qualified Behavioral Health Provider (QBHP) services to navigate their challenges more efficiently.

The integration of this new service will further support the overall health, wellness, and independence of the adults we serve.”
