For the last two years, the Clinical Center has partnered with Jackson County to waive fees for psychological assessments for those who qualify. Additionally, the center often works with DCFS on certain cases, along with receiving assessment and counseling cases by court order.

We commemorate these partnerships and valuable support, while welcoming community members to learn more about the many services available to them.
