The Loma Linda University Sickle Cell Center (LLU-SCC) is developing an expansion of our Behavioral Health services to include a regional behavioral health outreach program, coupled with a coordinated system of care to provide wrap-around resources and services LLU-SCC, Loma Linda University School of Behavioral Health, and San Manuel Gateway College will collaborate to create an integrated behavioral health care system for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) / Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) patients and caregivers. Community health workers (CHWs), navigators, and behavioral health professionals will develop a network of resources and behavioral health services. Training and Education, Coordinated Behavioral Health Services, and Outreach and Engagement make up our program. Our program will train CHWs and navigators, connect patients and caregivers to mental health services/resources using a tiered care approach, and involve huge Sickle Cell communities. This coordinated strategy would expedite SCD patients' neuropsychological assessment and other behavioral health services, lowering barriers to care and boosting this vulnerable population's well-being.
