SHREVEPORT, LA: In continuing to broaden its mental health service delivery network across North Carolina, Louisiana based Seaside Healthcare, a behavioral healthcare service corporation, announced the acquisition of Faith in Families Mental Health Agency headquartered in Reidsville, North Carolina and providing services from locations in Reidsville, Yanceyville, Greensboro, and Burlington, North Carolina. The acquisition was completed on August 31, 2018. Franklin Roemer, CEO and co-founder of Seaside Healthcare welcomed Faith in Families into the growing Seaside Healthcare network of Behavioral Health service providers across North Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana, commenting, “Our “patient first”, high quality, community-based mental health service delivery approach brings vital behavioral health care services where it is most effective and convenient for our patients and their families.” Roe-mer continues, “Faith in Families will further expand our ability to serve people of all ages by broadening our geo-graphic footprint and expanding even further, the types of services our healthcare system provides.”

Faith in Families was founded in 2008 and today provides a variety of mental health services for children, families, and adults across its four locations in North Carolina. It currently serves in eight counties in North Carolina including Alamance, Anson, Caswell, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Rockingham, and Stokes counties. Among the ser-vices it provides are clinical assessments, intensive in-home services for those ages five to 20 years of age, community support services, outpatient therapy, multi-systematic therapy and psychiatric services.

In welcoming Faith in Families to the Seaside Healthcare family, the program will now share in Seaside’s focus on providing evidence based treatment services that are compliant with all state and national regulations for mental healthcare delivery. Seaside’s goal is to provide community based treatment in the least restrictive environment for patients and their families. As a large deliverer of mental health services in Louisiana, Georgia, and North Carolina, Seaside has the resources to continue meeting the needs of the people it serves across its growing network of providers. Faith in Families is joined in North Carolina by other Seaside programs including, Pride in North Carolina, Turning Point, and Youth Haven Services,

Roemer commented on the expanding service network of the Seaside Healthcare family, “The strong model for patient centric care that we first developed in Louisiana and expanded into North Carolina and Georgia will serve as the foundation for our future expansions as we bring more services to more people in their own communities.” He adds, “Faith in Families is a strong fit with the philosophy and service delivery system of Seaside Healthcare and as a result, the beneficiaries will be the people of North Carolina whom we will continue to serve.”
