Lighthouse Therapy Services | Application Preview
Lighthouse Therapy Services seeks government grants to secure a physical location for business operations and enhance existing resources, including transportation, computer systems, electronic health records, and advertising.
The business plan involves expanding services with the addition of individual and group therapy once the owner achieves full licensure as a social worker. The rationale for funding approval emphasizes the broader impact of the services provided, which include mental health evaluations for students and staff in schools, as well as residents and staff in nursing homes and hospitals. The goal is to enhance overall mental well-being, reduce emotional distress, and address challenges in caregiving environments.
Lighthouse Therapy Services stands out in the market with no direct competition in the niche of mental health consulting for healthcare settings. Unlike traditional consultants who focus mainly on operational metrics, this business takes a more personal approach by prioritizing the mental well-being of individuals, fostering a supportive environment that ultimately improves both staff and patient outcomes.

Business Plan
I plan to continue adding services to my business. I am currently a licensed master's social worker (LMSW) and I am working on completing all the clinical hours to become fully licensed. At that time, I will add individual and group therapy services to my list of services available. Investing in my business is truly investing in the future, present, and past. My consulting services are provided to schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. When I go into schools, I evaluate the mental health of students AND staff/teachers. The aim is to improve the overall mental health of each school and reduce emotional turmoil and distress. This allows kids and teachers to thrive in their environments. When I go to nursing homes, I am evaluating the same for residents and clinical staff. This service is to identify areas of improvement for caring for older adults while also paying close attention to the mental well-being of the clinical staff. Doing this helps improve the overall well-being of both staff and patients, improve mortality, decrease turnover, and address the problems we all know exist in the nursing profession. When I work in hospitals, I am specifically asking clinical staff. We all recognize that the medical profession is under high levels of stress. What we don't recognize is how we can help alleviate that. I come in to find out how poor the mental well-being of the staff is and look at ways to make direct improvements.

Self Identified Competition
At this time, I do not have direct competitors due to the lack of healthcare consultants evaluating the mental well-being of their clients. Most of the time, consultants focus on the production aspect alone, and I am here to attend to that very neglect aspect of consulting. Most healthcare consultants are focused on how to improve the operational outcomes of a facility. They look at wages, turnover, and individual productivity. I plan to be more personal and ask about the individuals as a person instead of as a number/machine.
