Welcome to Laurel Helping Hands
We think of ourselves as the first line of call for individuals and families faced with mental and behavioral health challenges because we help our clients understand and cope with the mental illnesses and other behavior problems; we provide treatment services; and when the needs of an individual or family exceeds our scope of service, we support them through the process of finding and accessing the appropriate providers.
We are committed to supporting healthy behaviors, promoting emotional growth, and improving interpersonal relationships.
