Es con gran entusiasmo que compartimos con ustedes que hemos nombrado Jessica Fenchel como nuestra vicepresidenta sénior y directora de operaciones. Jess has been at Access Services for over 10 years, during which she was key in the startup of innovative initiatives across multiple service spaces including crisis, forensics, schools, and homelessness. She believes that help should be helpful and that the people we serve deserve our best. Jess has led in partnership building to realize integration between behavioral health and physical health, driving solutions for vulnerable populations. Anyone can come up with ideas, it takes great partners to bring ideas to reality! Jess’ work to develop new models of partnership between law enforcement and crisis systems has led to overall reductions in arrests for those experiencing mental health crisis.
“The best part of my career has been here at Access Services. Our community is special – full of our belief and investment in the people we serve. It’s a blessing for me to have this opportunity, and I am grateful for the chance to serve more broadly.”
Jess Fenchel, vicepresidente sénior y director de operaciones
As a company, Access Services embraced the concept of integrated health long before it had a formal name. Our mission from the beginning was to treat everyone we served with care and meet their unique needs as a person through connection to resources and closing gaps in systems. Jess is a champion for whole person care and challenges us all to develop integrated solutions that encourage collaboration across programs and communities through partnerships. Jess actively invests in leadership development in our organization to help prepare and grow the leaders of the future. Her own commitment to being trauma informed and valuing diversity has challenged us as an organization to continue to push forward in significant ways.
Con el impulso de una atención basada en valores, nuestro enfoque de salud integrada ha crecido. Ahora, cada uno de nuestros programas de salud conductual incluye iniciativas de salud integradas sobre cómo ayudan a evaluar el riesgo, hacer referencias y establecer metas con aquellos a quienes servimos. Estas soluciones pueden ser de corto o largo plazo según las necesidades del individuo y del programa que lo atiende. En algunos casos, el primer punto de contacto es Mobile Crisis o Street Outreach. Las necesidades normalmente serán más inmediatas y de corto plazo. Nuestros programas de rehabilitación psicológica, Starting Point y TIP, generalmente trabajarán con aquellos a quienes atienden durante períodos más prolongados, conectando a las personas con atención física a largo plazo y recursos comunitarios que apoyan la recuperación a largo plazo. Esperamos ver cómo continuaremos creciendo y adaptándonos como empresa para satisfacer las necesidades de nuestra comunidad.
“As the Vice President of Behavioral Health (BH) for the last 6 years, Jess is well prepared to move into this position. Her commitment to our values, leadership development, ability to think strategically and execute with clarity make me and our leadership team excited about our future.”
Sue Steege, presidenta y directora ejecutiva
