Mental health intake should never be a closed door
Mental health intake is the highest-trust moment in healthcare. When someone reaches out, the first response shapes whether they show up to the assessment or disappear. SleekAI is built for that pressure. It handles intake questions, explains levels of care from your published copy, and books admissions - while routing every distress signal to 988, your local crisis line, and the partner ER before any other content. The bot does not act as a therapist, does not diagnose, and does not deliver coping content.
Levels of care are where the bot earns its keep. Outpatient therapy and meds, intensive outpatient (IOP), partial hospitalization (PHP), residential - each has different schedules, durations, insurance rules, and pre-authorisation expectations. Generic chatbots blur them. SleekAI reads your program details from WordPress and explains each accurately, while explicitly refusing to recommend which level fits the patient. That decision belongs to the intake clinician at the assessment, and the bot says so on every conversation.
Insurance and pre-auth literacy is the second piece. The bot knows which plans are in-network for which level of care and explains pre-authorisation expectations from your published rules. Aetna PPO covers IOP with pre-auth; BCBS varies; UHC has different rules for adolescent versus adult IOP. The bot quotes accurately and books the intake without overpromising.

Features
What SleekAI gives you for Mental Health Clinics
Crisis-first routing
988 and your local crisis line are baked into the system prompt. Any distress signal triggers crisis routing before any other content, every single conversation.
Levels-of-care fluent
Outpatient, IOP, PHP, residential - the bot describes each accurately using your published program details, never recommending which one fits the patient.
Insurance and pre-auth
The bot knows which plans are in-network for which level of care and explains pre-authorisation expectations from your published rules, with no overpromising.
Use cases
Where Mental Health Clinics use this chatbot
On the admissions page
Captures patient details, surfaces 988 and your crisis line on any distress signal, and books intake assessments with the right age-specific clinician.
On the levels of care pages
Explains outpatient, IOP, PHP, and residential using your published program details. Refuses to recommend which level the patient needs - that is the intake clinician's call.
On the family resources page
Helps loved ones understand options, the role of the intake assessment, what to expect at admission, and how to support someone awaiting placement.
The bigger picture
Why mental health chat needs the strictest configuration in healthcare
Mental health is the niche where a chatbot can do the most damage and the most good in the same week. A bot that engages with self-harm ideation, that improvises coping advice, or that misjudges crisis severity can contribute to a worst-case outcome. A bot that refuses cleanly, surfaces 988 and the local crisis line every time, and books the intake without delay can be the difference between someone showing up to the assessment and disappearing.
SleekAI is configured for the second posture from the prompt up. Crisis routing is hardcoded, refusal of therapy and diagnosis is non-negotiable, and the bot describes levels of care without recommending one. For the seventy percent of inquiries that are administrative - levels of care explainers, insurance verification, intake scheduling, family resources - it answers fast using your published copy and pushes the lead to the intake team.
That trade is the only sensible one for a mental health clinic running a public chatbot: lock the clinical, automate the administrative, and audit the conversation log every single week.
Questions
Common questions about SleekAI for Mental Health Clinics
No. SleekAI describes outpatient, IOP, PHP, and residential accurately using your published program details, but refuses to recommend which level the patient needs. That decision belongs to the intake clinician at the assessment, and the bot says so on every conversation. The refusal is enforced in the system prompt and tested before launch.
 Your system prompt routes any distress signal to 988 and your local crisis line first, before any other content. The bot does not engage with self-help or coping advice, does not interpret severity, and does not delay routing. For active danger, it surfaces the nearest psychiatric ER and offers to help schedule an urgent intake. Crisis routing is the first behavior tested before go-live.
 Yes, when you store in-network plans, level-of-care coverage, and pre-auth rules as data per program. The bot quotes accurately - Aetna PPO covers IOP with pre-auth, BCBS varies by employer group, UHC handles adolescent IOP differently from adult IOP. The bot also tells families to verify with the card before the intake.
 Yes. SleekAI is multibot - configure separate bots for adult, adolescent, and family programs with different prompts and tones. Adolescent intake conversations need different language, different consent rules, and different parental routing than adult intake, and the bot handles that distinction cleanly.
 Yes, in your WordPress database with retention you control. OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API calls use your own key directly, so no third party sits between your patients and the model. The conversation log gives the intake team context and helps the clinical director audit the prompt weekly.
 Yes. The system prompt is plain text in the WordPress admin. Audit it, version it, and edit it any time without touching the live behaviour until you save. Most clinics treat the prompt the way they treat clinical policies - reviewed monthly, signed off by the medical director, and revision-tracked.
 The bot is configured to recognise minor-related language and route to your published consent process. It does not collect or process minor health information directly and routes parental booking requests to the intake team. State rules on minor consent vary, and the bot stays on the safe side by routing instead of guessing.
 Indirectly. SleekAI does not write into Kipu, Sigmund, or your EHR directly. It captures the inquiry, the level-of-care interest, the insurance, and the contact details, then emails or webhooks the structured handoff to your admissions team. The team confirms in the EHR the same way they would for a phone inquiry.
