Integrated Services for Behavioral Health

About

Integrated Services for Behavioral Health (ISBH) has evolved into a cornerstone of community wellness in Ohio, driven by a profound commitment to person-centered care. What began as a focused initiative to address behavioral health needs has grown into a comprehensive, forward-thinking organization serving Southeastern and Central Ohio. The organization's journey is defined by its dedication to meeting people where they are—whether in their homes, schools, or local communities—to provide the essential support needed for recovery and well-being. Under the leadership of CEO Samantha Shafer, ISBH has expanded its reach and capabilities, embracing a holistic approach that recognizes the intricate connection between mental health, physical health, and social factors. The organization champions a 'housing first' model, understanding that safe and affordable housing is often a prerequisite for effective treatment and healing. This philosophy extends to their wide array of services, which includes outpatient and residential treatment, case management, and psychiatry, all designed to be culturally responsive and tailored to individual needs. Today, ISBH stands as a robust regional entity, utilizing innovative tools like telehealth platforms and the CliniSync Health Information Exchange to ensure seamless, high-quality care across more than 14 counties. By collaborating closely with local partners and addressing social determinants of health, ISBH continues to strengthen families and empower communities, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
