How we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices at every stage
of life are impacted by our mental and emotional health. Our goal is to
create an empowering environment so individuals can set their path to
recovery, accomplish their goals, and reconnect with their family, friends
and community.
At our centers, we embrace hope and avoid the language of illness. We work
with individuals to develop strategies for coping, personal growth and
continuing wellness. Through a blend of compassion and understanding,
we focus on individual strengths, and strive to help each person achieve
desired results.
We offer a comprehensive continuum of inpatient, outpatient and community-based
services for children, adolescents, adults and families. Our services
have been recognized by Mental Health America via its Innovations Award program..
