Consultation Services
Individual consultation can be held in the form of a meeting 1:1 or in a small group (families). It can be a one-time event or a series of consultation meetings.

They are formally trained to understand the underlying behavioral health and psychology of relationships, and the most effective interventions for understanding and interacting with someone struggling with a mental health condition.
