    Discover how the Merakey Mental Health Walk-In Clinic in Philadelphia is transforming behavioral health urgent care with its groundbreaking, client-centered approach. This session will explore the clinic’s innovative "living room" model, which provides immediate, solution-focused interventions to those in crisis, reducing wait times and barriers to care. Attendees will learn how this approach aligns with patient preferences for accessible, on-demand services and will gain insights from case studies and data on how the clinic is improving patient outcomes and satisfaction. Join us to explore the future of behavioral health services and access to same day care.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Attendees will describe the Merakey Mental Health Walk-In Clinic's operational model, including its living room approach and brief, solution-focused interventions.
    • Attendees will assess the effectiveness of brief, solution-focused interventions in urgent behavioral health settings by analyzing case studies and data, demonstrating their understanding through practical exercises or evaluation tools.
    • Through scenario-based discussions, attendees will identify at least three trends in patient preferences for accessible behavioral health services and evaluate how the Merakey Urgent Care model aligns.
