The Center provides a comprehensive array of treatment services and also offers a number of specialized programs designed to prevent mental and emotional problems, or to provide ongoing support and assistance to persons with more severe forms of mental illnesses. Some of the Center's services include:

Counseling

Counseling is available for children and adults and may include family, marital, individual, or group therapy, depending on the type of problem. Psychological testing, psychiatric consultation, and medication can be arranged as ancillary services when needed. The Center has counseling offices located in Millersburg, Rittman, Orrville, and Wooster.

Crisis Intervention

The Center's emergency response team provides crisis intervention, pre-hospital screening, and community consultation 24 hours a day. During regular business hours, crisis workers can be reached at the main office, but much emergency service is actually provided in the community at homes, hospitals, schools, and agencies. After hours, emergency staff may be contacted through social service agencies, law enforcement and medical personnel, or by calling any of the Center's regular office numbers.

Specialized Services for Children

The Center provides special assistance to the families of children and adolescents with severe emotional disturbance. Special services are determined based on the individual needs of the family, but can include intensive home-based intervention, school-based therapeutic programs, specialized counseling, and case management support, including linkage to other community resources.

Psychiatric care (Medical/Somatic) is provided to Center clients, upon a referral from their primary clinician to assist in differential diagnosis and formulation of treatment recommendations as well as for the evaluation of the need for medication for symptom management.
