    Guidance for Mental Health Services

    If you or your child is in need of counseling, we recommend:

     

    1. Call your insurance provider or visit their site online to get a listing of mental health providers.

    2. If you do not have insurance, your child may be eligible for Medical Assistance (MA).

                        You can apply online through COMPASS https://www.compass.state.pa.us

                            If you have Medical Assistance MA, go to www.cmpmhds.org to find services.
