Parent Share and Support has partnered with Iowa Primary Care Association to provide local Behavioral Health System Navigation services to the Oelwein community and Iowa’s Behavioral Health District 3. Beginning May 19, a system navigator is available at Parent Share and Support, located at 1621 South Frederick Ave., every Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Rashell Amos, the system navigator from Iowa PCA at the location, brings over 10 years of experience in mental health and human services. She previously worked at Parent Share and Support before returning to the office. The service is designed to help individuals and families connect with mental health and behavioral health resources in their area. System navigators can assist community members in finding services, understanding available supports, and navigating mental health systems and programs.
These services are provided free to all Iowans. Community members can stop in during office hours or contact the navigator directly at (515) 505-8567 for assistance. The partnership is expected to increase access to behavioral health support and make it easier for families in Northeast Iowa to connect with needed resources close to home, reducing barriers that often prevent people from seeking care.
