Community Transitions

• Transition & Engagement Services

The Compass Health Community Transitions program works with individuals who need connection to resources to improve their health - resources including behavioral health care, physical health care, and resources to address social needs such as shelter/housing, food, and transportation. We have found one of the best ways to reach individuals who may be in need of these services is through community emergency services providers such as EMS/paramedics and law enforcement. Together with our law enforcement and fire department partners, Community Transitions care coordinators and community health workers conduct outreach and engagement to individuals at a variety of locations in the community to assess needs and provide ongoing support to assist individuals in getting connected to the most appropriate pathways to address their needs. The Community Transitions program is supported by several partners in south Snohomish County, including:

• South County Fire
• Lynnwood Police Department
• Mountlake Terrace Police Department
• City of Edmonds
• Mukilteo Police Department

Child Advocacy Program (CAP)

• Children, Youth & Family

The Compass Health Children's Advocacy Program (CAP) provides services to children and adolescents who have been, or are believed to have been, sexually abused, from birth to 22 years old and their non-offending family members. The youth and family focused services are provided at Compass Health clinics by professionals specifically trained to treat victims of sexual abuse. Counseling and ongoing-therapy are proven to alleviate the long-term conditions that often result from abuse, such as feelings of guilt and shame, extreme anxiety, and depression. Children and adolescents who receive immediate support following the disclosure of abuse learn to deal with these conditions before they establish themselves and become life-long problems. When a parent learns that their child has been the victim of sexual abuse, this can often cause a crisis in the family, accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame, extreme anxiety, and depression for both the non-offending parent and the child. Compass Health’s clinicians are specifically trained to help children, adolescents and their families figure out the most effective way to move past the trauma of sexual abuse and live normal and happy lives. Our specially trained therapists use Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) as their treatment model. This is an evidence-based practice that has been shown many times by research to be a highly effective treatment model for trauma. In addition to our Compass Health clinics, we have CAP specialists located at Dawson Place Child Advocacy Center in downtown Everett.
