The Mental Health Association of Central Florida has begun offering free services for uninsured children and teenagers, NBC affiliate WESH reported Jan. 9.
The services will be available for children between the ages of 6 and 17 across Brevard, Lake Orange, Osceola, Polk and Seminole counties. The program is funded by the Central Florida Cares Health System and the Florida Association of Free and Charitable Clinics.
MHACF will work with their patients to develop individual treatment plans following an initial clinical screening. These plans can include a variety of services, such as one-on-one therapy, medication management, expressive arts therapy and group education, the report said.
