Outpatient Mental Health Services
Individuals from age two years and up can suffer with psychiatric and behavioral health issues. Our goal is to help these individuals achieve mental wellness, so they can participate more fully in their families and communities.
Our programs achieve this by:
- Encouraging safety for the child and family.
- Enhancing the individual's functioning in the family, community, school and/or workplace.
- Keeping individuals in the least restrictive home, community and educational setting possible.
- Improving family and social relationships.
- Providing links to other community services and support.
After a phone assessment determining eligibility, individuals can schedule an appointment to meet with one of our mental health clinicians, who completes a comprehensive evaluation that is then reviewed by a clinical supervisor or psychiatrist.
