Where We're Heading
South Lane Mental Health has experienced tremendous growth over the past two decades. Thanks to a Community Development Block Grant and an incredible outpouring of individual and foundation support, we recently completely renovated and moved into the former Mt. David Medical Clinic on Birch Avenue. Our new 8,000-square-foot facility features private offices for 25 counselors and includes specially equipped rooms for play, art, and sand therapy.
In addition to celebrating our Open House in September 2010, we also started our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program. Although we have been providing intensive supported housing services for adults with severe and persistent mental illnesses for more than 15 years, the new ACT protocol has helped our team become more cohesive and comprehensive. Both clients and staff have noticed this improvement, which will likely lead to additional resources for supported housing services in the future.
Other plans include hiring more staff to provide additional services for children and their families.
