CAH Reduces Youth Suicides, Bullying with CHNA Programming

25 Jul CAH Reduces Youth Suicides, Bullying with CHNA Programming

Union General Hospital in Farmerville, Louisiana, has seen a decrease in school bullying and youth suicides since implementing programming from their 2014 Community Health Needs Assessment.

“Together We Can Be Bully Free was a result of a 2014 Community Health Needs Assessment survey distributed to rural residents across Union Parish. A common theme in the survey responses was the pressing need for behavioral health intervention. With a ratio of 1,320 patients to one mental health professional, the parish falls far behind the state average of 420 to one.”
