This new community resource is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to - 6 p.m. and seeks to break down barriers to mental health care. Guests have access to counseling, social supports, and social and medical referrals, or they can simply use the visit to calm themselves in a safe, comfortable environment and leave when they are ready.
