Amber Cheesebrough
Amber Cheesebrough is a clinical coordinator for Ascent Health, a Wraparound agency in Louisiana. She assists case managers in facilitating care for high-risk youth with severe behavioral health issues. She has been working in the behavioral health field for SIX years, first in oncology and now with youth. She has taken multiple certification classes, including those specializing in bereavement, trauma, ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), anxiety and depression with health traumas, and others. She currently specializes in youth who are placed in juvenile detention or at a behavioral health hospital. In coordination with clinical teams, she recommends services and testing they need once they go back home, evaluates if long-term care is appropriate for them, gives recommendations on future care, and does research on the causation of their hospitalizations to prevent repeat placements.
