Mental health is an incredibly complicated issue, intersecting with a large number of issues, such as race, gender, and economic status. This creates many complications in how mental healthcare is delivered by providers and professionals and how it is received by individuals. Many people struggling with homelessness are also affected by mental health issues. Meanwhile, some people with poor mental health may find it hard to live with their usual companions.
Benevolent Family Services (BFS), a behavioral health company headquartered in Hampton, Virginia, has introduced an innovation in the delivery of mental healthcare services. By establishing a non-profit, to acquire and renovate a motel, BFS was able to turn it into a care facility for people dealing with serious mental health problems, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression.
