Community services

Every service starts with a simple request

Cost is handled on a case-by-case basis once you submit a request, and a care navigator confirms everything with you before anything begins. Screenings need no appointment. Support groups need no registration.

What we offer

Seven community programs

Delivered at Healthy Start sites, Head Start centers, schools, churches, community partner locations, and by telehealth.

Perinatal Mental Health Support

Mental health screenings, peer support groups, and crisis navigation for pregnant and postpartum women across all five Northeast Florida counties. We use validated clinical screening tools including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), PHQ-9, and GAD-7 to identify women who need support, and connect them to care immediately. No appointment is needed for a screening. Cost is confirmed case by case once you submit a request.

Peer Support Groups

Weekly peer support groups for mothers, fathers, and families led by trained peer support specialists with their own lived experience of mental health challenges. Groups meet across all five counties, and every group is confidential and welcoming to everyone regardless of insurance status, income, or documentation. Cost is confirmed case by case once you submit a request.

Children's Mental Wellness Programs

Five age-based children's mental wellness programs delivered in Head Start centers, elementary schools, after-school programs, and community sites. All materials, activities, and family resources are provided. Cost is confirmed case by case once you submit a request.
