About the Program: At CHANGES, we are here to help you take positive steps toward the things that matter in your life.

We believe that a coordinated approach to care can empower you to lead a healthier and more fulfilling life. Our multidisciplinary teams include a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner, a nurse, a team lead with either a master’s degree or doctorate who is licensed or license-eligible, case managers with experience in mental health, peer support specialists, a vocational specialist, and a substance use specialist, who are all here to help you on your path to wellness and recovery.
