ASSIGNMENT BELOW
Upload the slide from your Agency Presentation that relates to how the agency interacts with the community or its role in the community.
For this week’s slide, you are to create the slide that discusses how your agency interacts with the community or its role in the community. I realize that the this slide could potentially look very different for each of you, depending on the specific community context in which your agency delivers services. Here are a few question to think about when you prepare the slide:
· What is the agency’s mission statement and how does it connects to or address a specific social problem within the community concretely?
· How does the agency “do business”? How does it stack up to other organizations in the community that also address this problem?
· What are some challenges to meeting the needs of the community faced by your agency and the ways in which your agency meets those challenges?
· How do clients get to your agency? Does your agency have to refer clients to organizations outside your community? Why?

About Lighthouse Care Center of Augusta
Lighthouse Care Center of Augusta is a mental health treatment facility in Augusta, Georgia. Children, adolescents and adults who are struggling to cope with mental health concerns can receive support at this center. They provide partial hospitalization programs, medication management, crisis stabilization services and acute residential care to individuals over the age of five. The facility maintains the Joint Commission’s gold seal of approval accreditation, and they’re LegitScript certified.
This clinic seeks to provide care to as many patients as possible, so they accept many types of insurance policies from Georgia Managed Medicaid, Aetna, and Cigna to UnitedHealthCare and Blue Cross-Blue Shield. If you find yourself out of network, then the facility will work with you on creating a single case agreement plan. This type of arrangement between your provider and the facility might allow you to get the coverage and care you need without having to search for a different facility or provider.
One great thing about this facility is that they have an onsite school that can help children and adolescents meet their educational goals. The school, which is accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission, can help interested individuals receive their GED or high school diploma, learn independent living skills and build upon their vocational goals.
Patients who seek help at the clinic will undergo an evaluation before being provided with an individualized treatment plan that considers their strengths and weaknesses. The facility can help patients who are experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, paranoia, depression, homicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors. Behavioral Health Resources
