Fishers Health Department (FHD) and the Fishers Fire Department partnered to build a social work program that establishes a direct line of referrals between public safety and the health department. A licensed clinical social worker and team of three community health advocates receive automatic notification from police following any emergency detention for mental health or suicide. Automatic notifications are also received from fire/EMS for any falls
This process provides the social work team with opportunities to coordinate mental and physical health care assistance in conjunction with community partners. In April 2024, the program served 77 patients through 107 patient encounters. The social work program provided provided 75 referrals for follow-up services, performed 43 crisis response follow-ups and supplied 115 residents with vital health education. Additionally, FHD performed five home visits and 17 community outreach activities.
