Center of Excellence:
Home of Integrated Behavioral Health

In many communities, there is a lack of understanding and resources to support mental health, which means problems frequently go unnoticed or unaddressed until they rise to the level of crisis.

Our health and behavioral health services support children and adolescents who have experienced poverty, crises, abuse, and family stress in their home and community to help them and their families manage their challenges in the context of their everyday lives. Using evidence-based approaches and employing highly trained medical and mental health professionals, our programs meet people where they are and create stability as they address their health needs.
