Assessment Services are usually the entry point to mental health services. All assessments are provided by trained professionals we call Intake Specialists. The Intake Specialist will sit down with the patient and support persons (or other collateral contact as available), ask a few questions and discuss the current situation.
Assessment Services are offered in multiple locations throughout NGHS:
