PORT
SAINT LUCIE, Fla., April 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Onyx Behavioral Health, a
leading primary mental health residential treatment facility,
alongside its parent company USR Holdings LLC, is excited to
announce its participation in the 2024 Safety Festival at Clover
Park in Port Saint Lucie on
Saturday, April 27th. The event marks
its 10th Anniversary, honoring the individuals and departments
pivotal in maintaining safety across St.
Lucie County. USR Holdings proudly stands behind this event,
shedding light on the pressing mental health crisis affecting our
nation and states, in alignment with Mental Health Awareness
Month.
There is a lack of mental health treatment,
especially for those with both mental health and substance abuse
issues.
As communities confront the multifaceted challenges posed by the
mental health crisis, the importance of mental health awareness has
surged. According to SAMHSA, one in five adults in the United States experiences mental illness
annually, and a staggering 19.4 million individuals also struggle
with substance use disorder. These statistics underscore the urgent
imperative to address these issues directly and
comprehensively.
USR Holdings LLC, the parent company of Onyx Behavioral Health,
operates a network of nationwide substance abuse and mental health
treatment facilities. The establishment of Onyx Behavioral Health
in Port St. Lucie was in direct
response to the identified need for comprehensive mental health
services in the region. Licensed by the Florida Agency for Health
Care Administration, Onyx Behavioral Health operates a 33-bed
community mental health facility, providing essential resources to
individuals struggling with mental health disorders.
"Participating in the 2024 Safety Festival allows Onyx
Behavioral Health and USR Holdings to amplify awareness of the
mental health crisis," stated James
Scribner, COO of USR Holdings LLC. "In nearly a decade of
operating substance abuse facilities nationwide, we've observed a
significant lack of mental health treatment, especially for
individuals dealing with both mental health and substance abuse
issues. Our goal is to bridge this gap and ensure comprehensive
care nationwide."
The Safety Festival serves as a vital platform for
organizations, community leaders, and individuals to come together
and address critical issues impacting public health and safety. By
joining forces with other stakeholders, Onyx Behavioral Health and
USR Holdings aspire to foster meaningful dialogue, promote
understanding, and advocate for greater support for mental health
initiatives.
