Southern Plains Behavioral Health Services originated in 1971 to fulfill social and emotional health needs in the community (catchment area). The agency's original name was Rosebud Area Guidance Center and is currently known as Southern Plains Behavioral Health Services. Effective behavioral health services depend upon the relationships existing among human services providers. One of the primary challenges of linkages involves the way human service providers coordinate their services. Therefore, linkages between Southern Plains Behavioral Health Services and all other human service providers must focus on mutual needs for each other's help in order to achieve patient/client related goals.

Qualifying for assistance from South Dakota's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to South Dakota'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.
