We know that reaching out for behavioral health support can feel difficult. Our mission is to make the process of finding help feel clear and encouraging. We've designed a space where you will be met with understanding and care, free from judgment, so you can easily take that first step.

We are here to ensure you feel seen, informed, and supported on your journey.

Mental Health Connections is one of the core services—for adults and youth—provided by the Health District.

  • Connections (adult): supports individuals and families looking for help with concerns like depression, anxiety and stress before they grow into bigger problems.
  • CAYAC (child, adolescent and young adult connections): provides early identification and treatment of behavioral health issues. This early support helps kids build core life skills, like managing emotions, coping with stress, communicating needs and forming health relationships. Our CAYAC team also works closely with area schools.

  • Brief psychotherapy
  • Medication management for youth and young adult clients
  • Care coordination
  • Resource navigation services
  • Mental-health-related referrals.

Once we’ve identified your needs, we’ll help connect you to local therapists, medication services, classes, support groups and other community resources.
