Our Commitment is to serve our communities and provide direct connection to behavioral health and substance use services in a whole-person, trauma-informed way.  Our focus is on supporting you, the community. Our approach to this is three tiered: prevention, crisis response, and recovery.  Programming in these key areas provide access to clinical staff, peer support, and educational opportunities to all members of the communities we serve regardless of insurance, socio-economic status, gender identity, sexual preference, age, race, and there is no requirement that you are police involved.
