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.
The Obergs enjoy riding
motocycles and plan to attend
a big motorcycle gathering in
Sturgis, South Dakota, this
year.
