Clinicians gave over 200 hours of pro-bono services. In addition, clinicians provided well over 1,000 hours of service in group therapy settings. These groups included griefshare groups for the community throughout the year.

We offer ongoing codependency groups and classes for those seeking recovery from addictions and a support group for mothers in need at a local shelter.
