” free for mental health consumers”, could someone clarify this? do we need to get a referral from our doctor or bring in evidence that we are mental health consumers or does it go by the honor system?
Let’s make arrangements for you to come in, we’re open Monday through Friday from 10-5pm, you can reach us at 302-397-8472. Initially all we need is your word and interest, we then have systems to verify your “official consumer status”– this important thing is that you have a place to make work and meet others if that’s what you’re looking for. I’m looking forward to meeting you. Sincerely, Michael Kalmbach
