Supplemental Services

Mental Health Services

Our mental health services are designed to support individuals in managing life's challenges and improving overall well-being. We offer confidential counseling, therapy, and psychological support for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and more. Our compassionate, licensed professionals help individuals develop healthy coping strategies and emotional resilience, fostering a path

toward healing and growth.

Telehealth Services

Our Telehealth services provide convenient, remote access to mental health care and wellness support from the comfort of your home. Using secure video or phone platforms, individuals can connect with licensed therapists, counselors, and other healthcare providers. Whether you're facing emotional challenges, need ongoing therapy, or seeking support for specific health needs, telehealth makes professional care accessible and flexible, ensuring you receive the support you need, wherever you are.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) services help individuals of all ages develop essential skills for emotional regulation, empathy, relationship-building, and self- awareness. By integrating SEL practices into daily life, we empower individuals to

navigate challenges, build resilience, and foster positive connections with others. Our programs are tailored to support both personal and academic growth, creating healthier, more inclusive environments where emotional intelligence can thrive.

Youth Mental Health First Aid

Our Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) program is a training program designed to equip adults with the knowledge and skills to assist young people who may be experiencing mental health challenges or crises. This evidence-based course covers

topics such as anxiety, depression, substance use, self-harm, and suicide prevention. Participants learn how to recognize signs of mental health issues, offer initial support, and connect young individuals with appropriate care and resources. YMHFA empowers adults—parents, teachers, coaches, and community members—to play a critical role in supporting the mental well-being of youth and fostering a safe, caring environment for all.

Restorative Practices

Restorative Practices focus on building and maintaining healthy relationships through communication, accountability, and healing. Rather than punitive measures, these practices aim to address harm and conflict by bringing people together to understand the impact of their actions, take responsibility, and work collaboratively to repair relationships. Restorative Practices encourage empathy, mutual respect, and community building, promoting a culture of trust, fairness, and inclusion. Whether used in schools, workplaces, or communities, these practices help prevent further harm, reduce conflict, and build a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and heard.
