How to Apply for Mental Health Services

If you would like someone to assess a child, adult, or older adult experiencing serious mental illness, call the Central Access Team at (800) 838-1381 during regular business hours. This number is also available for emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

Your particular situation might be addressed in a number of ways: 

  • Mental Health Services will provide you with information.
  • When appropriate, Mental Health will provide crisis services.
  • In other cases, you will be scheduled for an assessment of existing problems and needs.
  • If your condition meets the criteria for treatment, you will be referred for the necessary mental health services provided by a county-operated program or a private provider under contract with the County.
  • If you do not meet the criteria for treatment, you will be referred to other appropriate service providers or facilities.
