Historical November–December 2015 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
In support of a much-needed regional acute mental health care center, BJC HealthCare assumed operations and ownership of the St. Louis Regional Psychiatric Stabilization Center (PSC).
The center is a 25-bed adult inpatient acute psychiatric program located on Delmar Blvd., within the City of St. Louis and the 4th Senatorial District.
The facility’s new name will be the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Psychiatric Support Center.
It is expected that 80 percent of patients treated at this location will continue to be referred from the region’s numerous hospital emergency departments.
The need for mental health care has quickly outgrown the amount of services available for treatment. Time developing treatment, as well as an overall understanding of the severity of mental health conditions and what those living with these conditions may endure, have caused a spike in patients seeking treatment.
The influx in patients has highlighted the fact that there are not enough providers to care for those seeking treatment.
This problem is only compounded when the person in need of treatment does not have or cannot afford the health care costs associated with the treatment needed to find them qualified help. For more information on the center or to contact by e-mail, go to info@stlpsc.org, or call (314) 932-7110.
The center is located at 5355 Delmar Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63112. Family Workshop Series: The St. Louis Arc Family Workshop Series will provide in-depth information on topics to help them support family members with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The workshops are free and take place at the St. Louis Arc Center Family Center, located at 1177 N. Warson Rd., in St. Louis.
