Eastern Area Health Education Center

In addition to continuing education for mental health professionals, Mental Health Education primarily serves four single and multi-county mental health centers (Local Management Entities, or LME's. Click here for a listing) and four state residential facilities (Caswell Center, Cherry Hospital, O'Berry Center, Walter B. Jones Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Center (ADATC)). With the divestiture of public sector mental health services under Mental Health reform, EAHEC, more than ever, continues to expand and enhance its partnerships and relationships with a wide variety of mental health and related agencies. EAHEC mental health activities fall into the following categories:

Undergraduate and Graduate Education - EAHEC supports off-campus rotations of medical students at the Brody School of Medicine at ECU for portions of their training in psychiatry, which exposes students to community-based programs. EAHEC also supports the rotation of residents from the Department of Psychiatric Medicine to community mental health facilities, hopefully interesting them in selecting such a practice setting after completing their residency training.

Continuing Education - This major focus includes numerous regional and on-site programs targeted at specific disciplines (adult, MR/DD, substance abuse, and child/family) as well as multi-disciplinary programming focused on assessment, treatment, and management issues. Close interface with advisory committees and periodic needs assessments ensures relevant training topics to meet mental health needs.

In addition to the collaborative partnership with the Department of Psychiatric Medicine, EAHEC has a highly collaborative relationship with the College of Human Ecology at ECU, which includes the following departments:

Technical Assistance, Consultation, and Information Services - These services are extended to a wide array of community mental health and other professionals, including individualized and facility-wide assistance.
