COHASSET LEADERS SUPPORT
MENTAL HEALTH REFERRAL SERVICE
|
|
Check out this PSA from Cohasset Town Leaders about the William James College Interface Referral Service.
|
|
The William James INTERFACE Referral Service aims to help break down the "silos" that exist between various agencies, mental health providers, and systems that can often hinder access to mental health and wellness services for individuals. Callers will work with a Resource and Referral Counselor who will help them navigate the challenges of finding mental health services.
Free & confidential, this helpline is available Monday-Friday, 9a-5p, to help residents of Braintree, Canton, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham, Marshfield, Pembroke, Plymouth & Scituate find a Mental Health provider that welcomes new patients, accepts your insurance, and specializes in your needs.

Thank you to Cohasset community leaders for taking the time to highlight this essential service!

For the summer, our newsletter will be sent out bi-weekly on Thursday evenings. Please check your inbox for our next newsletter on July 23rd.
