1Mental Health Clinic Project Proposal
Introduction
Mental health is defined as person’s illness with respect to their emotional and
physiological well-being. Misbalanced mental health can lead to depression and other mental
health issue which needs proper addressing by a psychiatrist (Almutairi, 2015). To provide
such facilities to mental patient, urgent health care clinic was started by a group of
Psychiatrist in Birmingham, AL. The aim of this report is to analyse the funding required and
financial feasibility for starting an urgent mental health care clinic.
Need of mental health clinic
Patient suffering from mental health issue such as, having suicidal thought and
depression need crucial consideration from psychologists but emergency rooms of mental
hospitals are already pre occupied by psychiatric patient (Almutairi, 2015). The cost of
treatment is more in hospitals and also they have to wait for an appointment. In Birmingham,
AL, there are no such urgent care clinic for psychic patients. Hence, to fill that gap they
started a mental health urgent care clinic.
Funding
To open a Mental Health Urgent Care Clinic, capital is the most important entity. The
most important criteria for starting an urgent care clinic is to get a specific place, which can
be accessed easily by patients. There are many other arrangement which need to be done
beforehand such as appointing psychiatrists and staff to handle patient. Medical supplies such
as, equipment and medicines should be also prearranged (Johnston, Peppard & Newton,
2015).
