About Comprehensive Health Equity Solutions

Comprehensive Health Equity Solutions was created to help organizations respond more effectively to the growing mental health needs that show up in the everyday workplace and customer needs. Many teams are expected to handle difficult situations without the guidance, tools, or preparation to do so well. We fill that gap by helping organizations identify what their teams need and translating those needs into relevant education and strategic support. 

Dr. Colby Russell holds a Doctor of Health Administration degree with research in implicit bias and its effect on de-escalation decision-making during times of crisis for individuals with severe mental illness. In addition, she has over 17 years of experience in community-based and inpatient mental health settings, which includes expertise in crisis response, de-escalation, and workforce support. Dr. Russell brings a practical and research-informed perspective to helping organizations prepare their teams for complex human situations.
