LANHAM, Md., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Bizzell Group, an award-winning strategy, technology, and consulting services firm with a passion for improving lives, today announced the launch of the Behavioral Health Advancement Resource Center (BHARC). This new site presents innovative solutions for organizations of all sizes, in business, governmental agencies, and non-governmental organizations to some of the most critical issues affecting the well-being of the human race today. Chief among these issues are the opioid epidemic, substance use disorders and suicide prevention.
The increasing number of COVID-19 cases nationally and around the globe has heightened concerns about mental health and substance abuse and misuse issues. With stay-at-home restrictions, social isolation, and fear of contracting the virus as contributing factors for increased anxiety, attention to mental health is of greater importance than ever. This is especially true in lower socioeconomic areas where resources are limited. BHARC will serve as a valuable source of solutions to improve and maintain community health and well-being across the United States and around the world.
BHARC provides the following tools:
- Subject matter expertise on the areas of substance use, mental health, vulnerable populations, HIV and AIDS, tobacco research, suicide prevention, maternal and child health and social behavior change
- Technical assistance, trainings and innovative tools
- News, media and industry insights
BHARC was developed as a result of Bizzell’s work over the years within the federal health space, including:
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
- Food and Drug Administration
- National Institutes for Health (NIH)
- Office of Women’s Health (OWH)
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
- United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
- U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
«At Bizzell, we are accelerating advancements in behavioral health, working with clients and agencies to prioritize prevention,» said Anton C. Bizzell M.D., CEO and President of The Bizzell Group. «Many communities are disproportionately affected and change needs to start from within the public health spectrum. This includes taking initiative on how we can provide resources to better improve clinical medicine, community health and maternal and child health so that we build healthy, secure and connected communities around our nation and around the world.»
