Mission:
The General Mental Health Services at Gateway Center
for Human Services are committed to assisting individuals,
couples, and families in the process of restoring
and/or developing the ability to function adaptively,
effectively, and with reasonable self-assurance
in their lives. We believe these services should
be prompt, accessible, nondiscriminatory, and of
the highest quality possible. Services should be
provided in a manner that is sensitive to and respectful
of cultural diversity, individual differences and
embraces the right of all people to live with dignity
and self-determination

Emergency services are available from a counselor
on-call, 24-hours per day, 7-days per week. Calls

with clients on a walk-in or emergency basis.
