The UBHCC offers triage, assessment, and immediate resources to stabilize individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis that are 10 years and older. A behavioral health crisis can be effectively treated in less restrictive environments without delay or denial of service which creates more burden on the individual, law enforcement, and emergency departments. Therefore, the UBHCC will operate as an urgent care model with a multidisciplinary team trained to de-escalate a behavioral health crisis.

Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance are all accepted. We offer a sliding fee schedule for those who qualify and are uninsured.

FCC Behavioral Health provides postvention in response to crises in our communities. Postvention is an organized response in the aftermath of a tragic loss, including a suicide, tragic loss, or unexpected death of a child. These services may be provided to any of the following groups: FCC staff members and clients impacted by the event, students or employees associated with the deceased, first responders, facility staff that tend to the site of the death, and any other individuals that request postvention services. The services provided aim to provide education, support, and guidance in dealing with the grief associated with the loss. It also provides an additional screening opportunity to identify other members of our community who may be emotionally at risk.
