Self-care tips

During times of isolation, mental health experts recommend the following:

  • Have a routine that you practice every day such as waking up at the same time and getting dressed to begin your day.
  • Take care of your body. Exercise regularly. Eat well. Get a good night’s sleep.
  • Make sure you are not isolated socially. Because of these social distancing guidelines, a lot of people feel like they are alone. It is really important to maintain social connections. Check in on friends and family regularly.
  • Focus on the things you can control in your life
  • Set limits on the amount of newsworthy information you consume each day. Start by limiting how many times you seek out the news and identify the specific news outlets you retrieve information from.
  • Schedule some daily tasks or projects to mix up the day-to-day routine. For example, create a porch garden that you can take care of and watch grow.

Resources

Home and Community Based Services - Catholic Family Center program that helps address physical and behavioral health needs.

Catholic Family Center is committed to serving all who need our support. We do not deny services based on race, color, age, gender or gender identity, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation or inability to pay. In this role, we work collaboratively across the team of client, clinical provider, case manager and financial team to ensure there is an appropriate program for payment. These are the current program payers who are aligned with our program offerings.

Our Behavioral Health network continues to provide critical services for people who, in many cases, would have nowhere else to turn.

  • 87% of the clients of our Mental Health Clinic and 84% of our Restart Outpatient clients have incomes below $15,000.
  • Our expanded walk-in hours and the availability of Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) are two of our most needed and relevant services.
  • Our clinics are located next door to the Rochester Transit Center, making access relatively easy.
  • 11% of our Mental Health Clinic clients are children. The Children's Mental Health program connected with 3 charter schools to provide psychotherapy on site at least one day each week.
