Brief Overview of Services/Programs

Lawrence County Client Satisfaction Team: We listen to concerns and ideas of families, clients, and professionals have about the mental health behavioral programs in Lawrence County.  We provide a confidential environment to advocate and resolve problems.  CST empowers, supports, and educates individual clients and family members.

The Next Step: The Next Step is a wellness and resource center for Mental Health Consumers.  We provide a safe environment to meet with peers, use the computer, play games, attend educational classes, watch TV, go on field trips and events, and get information about the mental health community.

The Lawrence County Representative Payee Program: The Social Security Administration or other agency sends the clients benefits checks directly to LCRPP once payeeship has been assigned.  LCRPP staff works with clients to develop a budget for the clients’ bills and daily living expenses based on income and need.  Bills are sent directly from creditors to LCRPP, and payment is made directly from the program.  Referrals are made to appropriate programs as needed.

Peer Mentor Program: Peer Mentors are adults with first hand experience in recovery of mental illness with a desire to help other adult consumers of their community learn to recover from their illness. Peer Mentors have extended and rigorous training that teaches them necessary skills to help their peers.  We help you get the most benefits from your services, and can assist in finding housing, food, clothing, employment, and education.
