The Portage Path ‘General’

Walk-In Appointments Offered

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Portage Path now has walk-in appointments available for all types of services.  Walk-in appointments are a convenient way to fit treatment into your schedule, but please realize that priority is given to those most in need.  To best use walk-in appointments, we recommend you call beforehand to check availability, and arrive at least 20 minutes early.  Walk-in appointments are available for Intake, Psychiatric Evaluation, Counseling, and Medication Clinic appointments.

Become An Advocate For Mental Health

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Whether you are currently in treatment, were previously in treatment, have a friend or family member in treatment, or just care about mental health care, consider getting involved in advocacy.

By becoming involved, you can:

  • help erase remaining stigma surrounding mental health
  • help others learn from your experiences
  • suggest improvements or changes
  • lobby your representatives on mental health issues
  • participate in fun events

Here are some websites to check out:

NAMI of Summit County

Mental Health America of Summit County

Choices Social Center

If you become involved, be sure to tell them how Portage Path (or any other mental health provider) has helped you, and mention the specific programs or services you found particularly useful.
