Manage episode 401962505 series 3463954
We welcome you to the Madison County Milk House. Hosted by Samantha Field the Madison County, NY Public Information Office. This is where we talk about the big topics both North and South of Rt. 20.
Madison County Director of Community Mental Health Services Teisha Cook stops by the Milk House to talk about some out of the clinic ways Madison County Mental Health is addressing the well-being of our residents.
Madison County Mental Health serves approximately 1,800 clients. Services are provided in person, on the phone, or through telemedicine. If you or someone you know are in need of services simply call 315-366-2327. Also, the Crisis Line is available 24/7 by calling 315-366-2327 option 1.
During the 2022/2023 School Year, Madison County Mental Health partnered with 3 of our school districts to provide school clinic services. That program has expanded for the 2023/2024 school year. Learn how having services in the schools is impacting our youth.
Along with a mental health crisis, our Country also faces an opioid crisis. Madison County has teamed up with community partners to bring resources such as a mobile medication unit to Wampsville, expanding Naloxone availability and training, and most recently several housing projects to help with affordable housing.
