Frequently Asked Questions

Eligibility is based on a documented mental health diagnosis. If you do not have a current mental health diagnosis, our mental health intake worker can assist you with a referral for an evaluation to see if you qualify for services.  

County residents can call in requesting services for themselves or on behalf of a family member or person they care for. When a call is placed to our office, an intake worker will assist you in identifying what services can best benefit you. In addition to local services, we can make referrals to other providers and resources. To request assistance, please call our Intake Worker at 507-357-8228.

We do not want finances to be a barrier to accessing needed mental health services and will work with everyone who requests services on making those services affordable by offering a sliding fee scale. Due to this commitment, we may need to refer clients who do have third party insurance to other area providers. Not all services require a fee.
