About AWARE – Helena
In Helena, Montana, AWARE is a nonprofit organization providing community based support for people with mental health disorders, substance abuse issues or developmental disabilities. Children aged zero through eight can also find help here through a number of early childhood programs. This location of AWARE is also a certified community behavioral health clinic. Here you’ll find a comprehensive variety of behavioral health support.
If you choose to enroll in care here you’ll have access to outpatient mental health care and substance abuse treatment. They create person centered and family centered recovery plans. You can expect to participate in individual and group therapy sessions and receive family support. The intensity of treatment will depend on your personal needs and goals. You’ll also receive case management, medication monitoring and support from peers. Meeting with a psychiatrist is part of the care and medication management at AWARE.
One benefit I like about AWARE is that they offer primary care screening and personality assessments in addition to mental health treatment. They also offer a special mind body wellness program that incorporates yoga, meditation and mindset exercises. They include exercises like breathwork, sound meditation and mindfulness. Mindset themes focus on developing compassion, empathy and gratitude. In this way AWARE emphasizes a holistic approach, treating all components of mental health.
Another plus about AWARE is that they never deny care due to inability to pay. This means they have a sliding scale and discount services available based on your family size and income. Children can also access applied behavioral analysis services.
