Supporting the citywide BHAP program

The purpose of the Behavioral Health Access Program is to assist all City of Coral Springs employees, retirees, and families by providing mental health resources focusing on education, guidance, and crisis intervention. The benefits of the program include a reduction in symptoms of stress, quicker return to a productive functioning state, increased job satisfaction, personal confidence, and extended longevity. The program impact will be to improve the quality of life both during and after employment with the city by providing mental health resources and guidance for employees, retirees, and families. Additional emphasis will be placed on training peer support volunteers and increasing the number of available resources within the chaplaincy program and clinician response team. Staff will also pursue new opportunities to engage retired members of the workforce so they can remain connected to the city following their separation from employment.
