About Amherst H Wilder Foundation – Saint Paul
Amherst H. Wilder Foundation is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic in Saint Paul, Minnesota. They provide outpatient substance use treatment, mental health support and other social services for children, adults and families. You’ll receive welcoming, culturally competent care with flexible telehealth and in-person options.
One nice thing I noticed about their program is their belief that everyone should have access to quality care. For payment they will take Medicare, Medical Assistance and MNCare. They also accept most private insurance plans. Even if you don’t have insurance you can still get the help you seek. You can access discounted fees based on your income and family size.
Their outpatient programs provide a holistic approach emphasizing the significance of family support and addressing past traumas. You’ll complete a thorough assessment to determine the best level of care and approach for your situation. You can then participate in counseling, case management, peer support and other recovery services to reach your goals.
What stands out most to me is their culturally competent approach. They ensure you have an accepting space where you feel comfortable and appreciated. Their diverse team of professionals is made up of members of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. You can access care in multiple languages, including English, Hmong, Spanish, Oromo, Vietnamese and Somali. They can even arrange for skilled interpreters if a staff member who speaks your native language isn’t available. I think this is a wonderful feature because it removes barriers to quality treatment.
Another helpful feature I noticed was their Center for Social Healing. This center offers a gathering space for adult members of Southeast Asian communities. You can access alternative healing practices, support groups, educational events and mental health support. You’ll benefit from a tight-knit community to connect with others of similar backgrounds. They also offer shared meals, cultural celebrations and community outings to curate a solid support network.
