Mental Health - refers to how people think, feel and act as they face life's situations. Our mental health affects how we handle stress, relate to one another and make decisions. And mental health influences the way individuals look at themselves, their lives and others in their lives. Like physical health, mental health is important at every stage of life. All aspects of our lives are affected by our mental health, and protecting our children's mental health is a natural part of our parental obligation. Caring for our children-emotionally as well as physically-is critical to their daily lives and their independence.
Individual Therapy - CenterPointe clients frequently receive individual therapy in combination with family therapy and, when needed, medication. This therapy may take the form of play therapy, art therapy or several other modes, depending on the child's age, development and diagnosis. CenterPointe's individual therapy is based primarily on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Children learn to react differently to the situations and bodily sensations that trigger their symptoms. In addition, children learn to understand how their thinking patterns can contribute to their symptoms and how changing their thoughts and assumptions can make their symptoms less likely to occur.
Family Therapy - Family therapy is most often used when a child's problems stem from some form of family conflict. CenterPointe therapists help families understand each individual's roles and patterns and how they contribute to their child's problems and behavior. The underlying theory of this approach is that children do not change unless the whole system (family) changes the behaviors and roles which reinforce misbehaviors.
Psychiatric Services - Our psychiatric staff conduct psychiatric evaluations to assess a person's need for medications. These services are available for prescriptions, medication adjustment, and monitoring. In addition clients are educated in proper medication usage, intended benefits and adverse effects of medications, and on the importance of consistency in taking medications to control the symptoms of mental illness.

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
Qualifying for assistance from Idaho's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Idaho's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
