Mental Health Matters! Auberle Behavioral Health: from Early Identification to Community Care

A Q&A with Nicole Stout, Manager of Behavioral Health at Auberle

BH Feature

Q: Who do you serve with your team and how?
A:
Our team serves children, adolescents, adults, and families through Auberle’s Behavioral Health programs.

We provide outpatient therapy and psychiatric services, school-based Student Assistant Program (SAP) prevention and intervention services, and Mobile Intervention for Young Adults (MIYA) services that support young adults with behavioral health needs while helping them build independence and connect with community resources.

We also collaborate with families, schools, and community partners to support clients across settings.



Q: What are your goals as a team?
A:
Our goals as a team are to provide accessible, high-quality behavioral health services that meet clients where they are and respond to their individual needs. We aim to strengthen mental health and overall well-being, increase access to resources and supports, promote independence and stability, and build strong partnerships with families, schools, and community providers.

Q: How would you describe your team in a few words?
A:
Compassionate, collaborative, flexible, and client-centered.

Q: What motivates your team to do this work?
A:
Our team is motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the individuals and families we serve. We value meeting people where they are, helping them recognize their strengths, and providing support that can lead to greater stability, independence, and overall well-being.

Q: Tell us about some of your recent impact. 
A:
Over the past year, our Behavioral Health programs reached more than 400 individuals across a variety of levels of support.

We provided ongoing behavioral health services to 244 clients, while Mobile Intervention for Young Adults (MIYA) served 25 young adults with individualized support focused on mental health, stability, and independence. Through our Student Assistance Program (SAP), 163 students were screened, helping identify behavioral health concerns early and connect students and families with appropriate resources and services.

Together, these programs allow our team to meet individuals where they are and provide support ranging from early identification and prevention to ongoing treatment and community-based care.

Q: How can the community further the impact of Auberle Behavioral Health? 
A:
Our Behavioral Health team is seeking donations of journals, art and coping-skill supplies, hygiene items, and other practical resources for the children, teens, and adults we serve. These items help our team provide clients with tools they can use beyond their sessions to practice coping skills, support emotional wellness, and meet everyday needs. Donations help us provide meaningful, individualized support to clients as they work toward greater stability and independence.
