MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Essex County Mental Health Services is to provide community members with opportunities to improve their emotional, behavioral, and psychological well-being through therapeutic partnerships with mental health professionals.

ADMISSION POLICY

The Clinic is designed to serve Essex County residents who are in need of mental health services for a range of diagnoses. However, individuals with concerns specific to alcohol or drug disorders, developmental disorders, and/or organic brain syndrome may be referred elsewhere for services.

Admission of eligible individuals or families will be based on their ability to benefit from the range of services available at this clinic. The Clinic provides case management as well as individual, group, school, and crisis services on an out-patient basis to Essex County residents of all ages. If a professional assessment indicates a need for resources that are not available at this Clinic, a referral will be offered to the individual or family.
