Mobile Outreach Services

Mouhss.. What is Mobile Outreach?

Mobile Outreach is work done with people where they are at. Either indoors or out. The idea of mobile outreach is to go where the need is. Outreach is work done with people who prefer to access services outside of a “traditional” center. These services include mental, physical, emotional, spiritual wellness.

MOUHSS believes that all areas need to be addressed for positive health.

A Collaboration for Health Care Access:

Collaboration and service coordination is essential when providing access to health care services for our most vulnerable populations; including but not limited to; folks living outside or are barely housed, people with mental health struggles or trauma,. Through the creation of a mobile health care unit, service providers can offer direct services to those who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to access health and support services. The mobile health unit engages people where they are, through a supportive environment that assists in achieving their wellness goals whilst reducing further harm and disconnection from the community. Additionally, the mobile outreach unit strives to reduced the need for our vulnerable populations requiring access to emergency services and the hospital.
