In 2001, we changed our name from Shawnee Community Mental Health Center to Valeo Behavioral Health Care. Valeo is Latin meaning "to be well". Valeo was originally established as a result of the Community Mental Health Center Act in the 1960's for the purpose of securing mental health grants. Today, we offer 24-Hour crisis services, and provide mental health, primary care, substance abuse, and problem gambling addictions treatment services for adults. We provide community outreach to partnering agencies, area hospitals, the Shawnee County Jail, law enforcement, and individuals in their homes. We are nationally accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Valeo Behavioral Health Care serves over 7,000 people each year.We are involved in evidence-based practice research, providing valuable outcomes information to the University Of Kansas School Of Social Welfare, which is working to develop best practice treatment models for mental health recovery.Valeo employees share a recovery philosophy and work from a client strengths perspective.
