Next session: January 1st to December 31st, 2026

People with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities deserve investment in their mental health. Our specialized mental health services, provided by licensed and certified therapists, improve quality of life and daily functioning by teaching skills related to the following topics: emotional resiliency, conflict and stress, grief and loss, acceptance of diagnosis, and transitions across the lifespan. Services are provided directly to the individuals with ID/DD, with additional supports included to increase caregiver resiliency and support the entire family’s emotional well-being. Therapists will use a strengths-based approach focusing on solutions for daily life.

Completing this registration will inform us you are interested in an intake conversation to discuss your loved one's needs and learn more about how our services can support your family.

Johnson County residents may inquire about our partnership with Johnson County Mental Health, which allows for insurance to be used for services provided by the JCMH Counselor on our campus.

Our intake process is complimentary. Fees-for-service for the elected service and the available funding subsidies will be discussed in the intake.  Families sign a service agreement prior to any billing. Payment plans are available.

Jackson County residents may receive services at no cost if eligible, as a result of active grant funding provided by Children's Services Fund of Jackson County and EITAS.
