About community mental health programs
Community mental health programs serve clients over the age of 19 who are diagnosed with a major mental illness and experiencing significant problems that interfere with their functioning in the community.
We offer a wide array of multidisciplinary services, activities, resources, and health care professions to adults and older adults in a variety of settings including outpatient, inpatient, and in the home. Clients primarily fall into one of two categories:
- Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
- Mood disorders, i.e. bipolar and major depressive disorders.
- Services are also provided to people who have co-occurring disorders such as personality disorders, substance abuse/misuse, mental challenges, etc.
These services are free of charge.
