Joe Lindsay wins BEO scholarship 131k /[m iai Morrow County Mental Health Department has a new director and a new name. The department name was changed to Morrow County Behavioral Health Services (MCBHS), effective July 1. New director, Gary Oberg, who began working with MCBS March 1, says that the name is more encompassing and more indicative of the ser vices offered through his office. He says that the change is also more in line with the trend to managed health care. Morrow County Behavioral Health Services offers services for people with developmental disabilities, drug and alcohol treatment and mental health counseling. Oberg says that the change to managed care will enable his office to give better services to a great number of people. He says that he will now be able to offer more prophylactic ser vices, including education pro grams, classes and parenting education. He has had self- defense classes for women and has planned additional classes for women in Heppner and Boardman. Oberg says that previously his office had to have a diagnosis before treatment and types of counseling were ex tremely limited. "Now we can do what we need to do to help you get better," says Oberg. "We can be more creative in the treatment we do." He adds that treatment can now be ex panded to include more fami ly members. Oberg says that the new system will eliminate waiting lists and provides incentives to produce outcomes that work. "It will save money," says Oberg, "but not at the expense of treatment. The outcome is measured by whether the con sumer is happy with the treat ment." Morrow County Behavioral Services covers a two-county area, providing crisis and men tal health services for Morrow and Wheeler counties. Services are offered 24 hours a day by phone. Walk-ins are also ac cepted, however on-going clients are usually seen by ap pointment. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Of fices are also maintained in Fossil and Boardman. Oberg, 41, is originally from Port Angeles, WA. Prior to enrolling in college, he served in the army. He received bachelor's degrees from Portland State University and Claremont Men's College in Los Angeles and his master's degree from Portland State University in 1987. A licensed clinical social worker, Oberg was director of adult services at the Lower Col umbia Mental Health Services at Longview, WA, for three years before being named men tal health director at Morrow County Behavioral Services. Prior to that he was a mental health specialist III for four years at the North-Northeast Mental Health Center at Portland. He was employed as team supervisor and did counseling and crisis work. Two years before that, he pro vided crisis services at the Men tal Health Services West, also at Portland. Oberg lives in Heppner with his wife, Shelly, and daughter, Sofie, 19 months. Shelly, cur rently a homemaker, has been employed as a counselor. She also assists with the Taekwon- Do classes Gary teaches.
