Mental Health

There are a variety of services available to individuals who are impacted by mental illness. Some services are available within St. Louis County, while some may be available from outside partners within our community.

We can assist you in accessing the service that meets your need and focuses on your health and healing.

Services available:

Adult Mental Health Targeted Case Management (MH-TCM) services help adults with a "serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI)" gain access to needed medical, social, educational, vocational, financial and other necessary services as they relate to the recipient's mental health needs.

Once eligibility is determined, case management may be provided by a county case manager or through a contracted agency.
