Mental Health Program
This program focuses on underlying mood or personality disorders that may have caused the individual to exhibit objectionable behavior. The program works closely with attorneys, probation, and the Courts, performing evaluations and implementing treatment protocols for District and Municipal Court misdemeanor Deferred Prosecution programs.

The Mental Health program may address the following issues:
Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Dependence, DUI or other legal issues, family, employment, community problems.

Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia Nervosa is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss.
 
Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia Nervosa is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by a secretive cycle of binging and purging.

Eating disorders develop as outward signs of inner emotional or psychological distress or problems. They become the way that people cope with difficulties in their life. Eating, or not eating, is used to help block out painful feelings. Without appropriate help and treatment, eating problems may persist throughout life.

Anyone can develop an eating disorder regardless of age, race, gender or background. However, young women are most vulnerable, particularly between the ages of 15-25 years. Traumatic events can trigger anorexia or bulimia nervosa.
 
Personality Disorders are generalized, inflexible patterns of inner experience and behavior. These patterns significantly differ from cultural expectations, and begin in adolescence or early adulthood. Personality Disorders are long-term, maladaptive patterns of perception, emotional regulation, anxiety, and impulse control.
