Mission: Burrell pursues its mission through a set of operational principles as follows: 1) behavioral health intervention should be readily available to address problems before they become more serious. 2) the treatment setting should be no more restrictive on the client's personal freedom and lifestyle than necessary. 3) the intentsity of the treatment should be no more and no less than the client's condition requires. 4) a range of treatment options is essential so that, if a client's condition changes, the intensity and settings for services can adjust to those needs. 5) service development should occur in collaboration and coordination with other caregivers, health professionals, and consumers of care. 6) the future should be approached in a way that ensures the continued growth and resilience necessary to meet the behavioral health needs of the community. 7) services should be continuously upgraded to reflect best practices in meeting behavioral healthcare needs.
Programs: The organization serves communities across southwest and central missouri by offering psychiatric and psychological treatment for individuals, groups and families. Burrell serves 17 counties and operates out of 49 primary locations. The organization is increasingly focused upon enhanced integration of mental health care with a broad range of other human services such as health, developmental disabilities, addictions and education; upon meeting mental health needs when and where they occur and before they become more serious. Burrell continues to expand the programs and services it provides by continually striving to be responsive to the specific and changing needs of the individuals and communities it serves.
