The Clinic aims to provide a short- and long-term solution to the rising need for mental health services in our community and nation. Our short-term solution is to provide a range of mental health related services from highly qualified professionals across a range of disciplines using an integrated care approach to treatment. Our long-term solution is to train the next leaders in the mental health field to increase the number of exceptional providers in our community to begin to decrease workforce shortages.
