The two projects in Lewis and Pierce counties aim to support Washington residents who are experiencing a mental health crisis or are in need of withdrawal management services, according to a Nov. 13 news release from the department.

$2.45 million was designated to Trouvés Health Care Corp. in Fife to purchase and renovate an existing facility to add 16 new crisis stabilization beds and 10 crisis observation recliners.

Meanwhile, $1.83 million will go toward redesigning and remodeling Cascade Community Healthcare’s 23-hour crisis care treatment center in Centralia to increase the facility’s treatment capacity by 400%, according to the release.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
