Pinellas Hope's Psycho-Social Programs
Addressing the Needs of Residents of Pinellas Hope
There are over 400 residents residing at Pinellas Hope at any one Time. Over 250 are housed in temporary housing and another 200+ are residents of independent apartments on the grounds of Pinellas Hope. 

There is a need to establish a coordinated onsite Behavioral Health Program at Pinellas Hope utilizing our partners: PEMHS, Directions, PAR, BayCare, Boley Centers and Suncoast. The goal is to prevent the Pinellas Hope clients:
  • From going back on the streets
  • Being readmitted for Mental Health or Substance Abuse Disorders
  • Being Baker Acted or Marchman Acted
  • Over utilizing emergency rooms for their health care needs
  • Dying by overdose or suicide
  • Needing police intervention and/or incarceration due to antisocial behaviors
  • Being expelled from Pinellas Hope services due to not abiding by the rules and regulations of the program.

For the above reasons, the Behavioral Health Project of Catholic Charities has begun to implement Group Psychotheraphy and Psycho-Educational Programing for Pinellas Hope residents.
