School-age children can get help for behavioral needs. We consult with parents and caregivers and refer them to community-based mental health services.
We offer short-term counseling for adults if they can't find counseling that meets their needs in the community.
We provide psychological testing if it is needed for planning services and make referrals community mental health support.
These services help people and their families improve mental health and well-being.
