City Council oks Encompass Health rezoning, Bypass traffic upgrades. The City Council has approved on first reading a rezoning of land for the planned Encompass Health rehabilitation hospital. CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) - The City Council has approved on first reading a rezoning of land for the planned Encompass Health rehabilitation hospital. The property is on the southern frontage of Athletic Avenue at the southeast corner of Athletic Avenue and Dunlop Lane. The application changes the classification from C-3 (Regional Shopping Center District) to C-2 (General Commercial District), within the planned Freedom Farms development across from Vanderbilt Clarksville Hospital. Both the Regional Planning Commission staff and board unanimously recommended approval prior to the council meeting. The ordinance passed 12-1 Thursday night on its first reading. A second vote will be required. TDOT improvement to Bypass. Also Thursday, the council unanimously approved a Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) proposal for safety and road improvements along State Route 12 (the Bypass) spanning from near Queens Bluff Way to near Riverwood Place. The measure, which previously received favorable recommendation from the Finance Committee, sailed through 13-0 following strong endorsement from Councilman Travis Holleman, who noted the long-overdue nature of the intersection upgrades. The state-led project brings a new traffic signal, dedicated turn lanes, updated signage, and pavement striping to the heavily traveled Glendale Drive corridor. Centerstone/CPD grant partnership. The council also unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding between the City of Clarksville and Centerstone to formalize a partnership for a Behavioral Health Mobile Crisis Team. Supported by a four-year, $750,000 annual grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the program pairs Centerstone clinicians directly with crisis intervention-trained police officers on-scene to assist youth and adults experiencing mental health or substance use emergencies while reducing unnecessary criminal justice involvement.
Clarksville Police, Centerstone work toward having therapists on call for response. The City of Clarksville and Centerstone are considering an agreement to expand mobile crisis services for those needing mental health treatment. CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) - The City of Clarksville and Centerstone are considering an agreement to expand mobile crisis services for those needing mental health treatment. The Clarksville Police Department and Centerstone, the nonprofit mental health organization, have received a $750,000 annual grant, which will run over the course of four years, with the goal of expanding mobile crisis co-response services for children, youth and adults, according to previous reports. CPD Chief Ty Burdine addressed the City Council on Oct. 29 about the difference this will make in Clarksville and in the police department. Burdine said it's expected that Centerstone will hire three employees who would assist police with calls when needed. "The reason for it is, a lot of times when people are in a time of crisis, and we show up in uniform, it can sometimes add stress (to the situation)." Burdine said if police are able to have a licensed therapist as part of the response, it does three things for the department: * Reduces time spent responding to the same mental health crisis calls. * Supplies the community with responders who have continuity and consistency in dealing with those having mental health crises. * Creates more efficiency for patrol officers responding to calls/crises. "It might make the call shorter because of the skillset right there with the therapist as we respond," Burdine said, in support of a memorandum of understanding with Centerstone. "We are still working through the policy on our end, but this sets us forward in motion so we can work with this unit." | NEWS TIPS: Do you have a local news tip? Email [email protected] or call Clarksvillenow at 931-648-7720. Burdine explained the employees hired by Centerstone would ride along with police at times during the day, evenings and nights, while working in an administration capacity as well. "As they respond to these calls, there's also going to be follow-ups with these individuals," he said. "We'll have a dedicated office where they will have access to, to come in and do their follow-ups and connect back with those people in crisis that they had dealt with," Burdine said. "More than likely, those that are CTI (Crisis Intervention Team) trained will be the ones riding with these therapists." The City Council will vote on the MOU during their regular meeting on Thursday, Oct. 5, at 6 p.m.

Centerstone, a nonprofit behavioral health organization, will open a new clinic in Cleveland, Tennessee, on October 29.

"For the past four years, limited space has restricted our ability to add staff, expand services and fully meet the needs of the community," Centerstone Clinic Manager Jessica Johnson said. "Our new, significantly larger location will remove these barriers and create opportunities for enhanced services, including group therapy and medication assisted treatment, or MAT." Centerstone's outpatient clinic in Bradley County offers: * Comprehensive therapy * Psychiatric medication management * Health Link service for TennCare members with the highest mental health care needs The clinic also includes officers for school-based care and intensive in-home support providers, according to Centerstone officials. The original Bradley County clinic opened at Heritage Place on N. Ocoee Street in 2018. It began with just one therapist, one nurse practitioner, a clinic manager and a certified medical assistant. Due to a high volume of patients, Centerstone decided to hire more employees and lease a second suite at Heritage Place.
