Through a community collaboration, the David Lawrence Center provides free mental health and substance abuse evaluation and assessment services for youth ages 7-17 at the Collier County Juvenile Assessment Center. The Assessment Center also provides prevention and intervention services for children and their families. Children may be referred by parents, schools, law enforcement or other parties. Children who can benefit from these services may be truant, unmanageable, possible substance abusers, or at-risk for other reasons.
The following services are provided through the Assessment Center to at-risk youth in Collier County:
- Suicide Risk Assessments
- Mental Health Assessments
- Substance Abuse Assessments
- Brief Treatment
- Referral Services
- Take-Home Drug Screen Kits
- Follow-Up Care
The Information Help Line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for juveniles and parents to call anonymously about problems or gain information about what services and resources are available in the community. The line is not intended to be an emergency crisis help line. It is designed so that parents and juveniles can become informed about the wide variety of effective treatment and intervention programs available to them.
