County or Local Government Funds

Counties are often responsible for backing services like schools and hospitals. Day One receives funding from either the county or another local government. This means that mental health services for local residents might be offered for free or at a reduced rate. Call to find out.

The US Department of Health and Human Services offers funds in the form of Community Services Block Grants to all states.
