Halligan Creative Arts, a growing art therapy practice in upstate New York, has finalized a multi-year agreement with ConcernCenter to provide the practice's patients with streamlined access to the support resources they need. With therapy practices seeing an increase in clients and families needing support and resources outside of regular therapy sessions, many are seeking new tools to help patients access additional help. Halligan selected ConcernCenter to provide patients with intuitive, user-friendly access to local and national support resources.
According to ConcernCenter CEO and president Dr. Erin Halligan-Avery, “Organizations try very hard to provide support options to the people in their care, but the way this information is presented is often confusing and frustrating. Simply having a “resources” page on their website, even if the resource links are categorized, is not the way people want and need to access support. We created ConcernCenter with the users' needs as the first and only priority. Halligan Creative Arts knew this when they invested in ConcernCenter. It is clear that they want the best and most equitable access to support for the clients they serve.”
Halligan Creative Art's ConcernCenter portal goes live today with connections to numerous care and resource providers; providers often referred to by the clinicians at Halligan Creative Art themselves, throughout the area. Resources available anywhere, anytime are also included.
“As our busy mental health practice has grown, we've noticed comprehensive care support and collaborations are also growing. ConcernCenter will allow us to streamline how clients can access additional services from one central location. It is an efficient way for therapists to share information across the team without having to know each individual resource. It also provides an opportunity for us to continue to grow and collaborate with local resources so that our clients receive the best care, no matter how complex their concerns.” said Shannon Halligan, owner of Halligan Creative Arts.
