The first Tuesday of each month from 4-6 pm Arizona time, except for holiday weekends, ACMI will have a featured guest to discuss a relevant Behavioral Health topic; after the speaker, we will discuss current issues with the Behavioral Health System attendees. This month, hear about Psynergy Healthcare from co-owner Arturo Uribe and Executive Director Lynda Kaufman. Psynergy Programs operates with the shared belief that recovery happens, especially when a cohesive set of supports and services are available to support and sustain it. Based in Morgan Hill, California, our organization has grown from one facility to four over the last four years, with a fifth now in development. Each campus offers clinical and residential services in a safe and supported residential area. This way, we can emphasize the best elements of a community-living experience for individuals facing various mental health challenges. We hope they expand to Arizona!
