Achieving Mental Health Goals

Mental health goals look different for every patient, depending on their diagnosis and the severity of their condition. We commonly work with patients on the following skills:

  • Developing healthy boundaries
  • Expressing emotions appropriately
  • Communicating effectively
  • Improving self-esteem
  • Managing anger
  • Developing life skills
  • Managing medication

As of April 1 2023, all current Medicaid healthcare plan members will need to reverify eligibility for their insurance coverage.
