Our Philosophy
At the Alcott Center, we treat the whole person, integrating mental health treatments with socialization and creative coping outlets. Each treatment plan is individually tailored for your specific needs.
Mental Health
The treatment of mental health issues is deeply embedded in all services Alcott offers. We treat the whole person, integrating socialization and creative coping outlets, resulting in better outcomes.
Homelessness
Experiencing mental health symptoms can cause homelessness for some and, certainly, homelessness can exacerbate those symptoms. The Alcott Center continues to grow our work with the homeless to help combat the current housing crisis. Everyone deserves a home.
Social Activities
The Center offers regular, free social activities such as trips to baseball games, field trips, and Friday afternoon Pizza Parties. These activities help socialize and transition individuals into our community.
Studio Arts Program
The Studio Art Program helps individuals create art with professional instruction alongside community members. This art helps individuals process and convey emotions in non-traditional ways.
