Behavioral Health Unit
%20OFFICIAL.png)
The Behavioral Health Unit (BHU) operates in the field to respond to 911 calls related to behavioral health issues. It offers services including problem identification, crisis intervention, referrals, and connections to resources for residents of Chelan and Douglas Counties. The BHU focuses on providing direct, face-to-face support, temporary case management, and assessments, while also serving as a secondary responder for law enforcement agencies. The BHU provides outreach to individuals in acute emotional crises, aiming to divert them from incarceration or hospitalization by connecting them to the least restrictive and most appropriate treatment options. It conducts assessments to determine eligibility for diversion and coordinates evaluations under the Involuntary Treatment Act when necessary, using crisis intervention techniques to support both individual and community stabilization.
The Behavioral Health Unit has been successful in establishing and maintaining the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office Wellness Program and supporting first responders across Chelan and Douglas County. The Officer Wellness Program is designed to promote the holistic health of law enforcement officers by addressing their unique physical, mental, and emotional needs. Acknowledging the demanding nature of police work, this program offers a comprehensive range of resources aimed at enhancing officers' resilience, reducing stress, and supporting overall well-being.
