At the Walk -In & Counseling Center, Indian River County residents of all ages are <br />given immediate access to mental health care through walk-in services such as mental health screening, <br />crisis intervention, consultation about the mental health needs of a loved one, assistance with resources <br />for needed care, and information/referral services. We also clinically consult about mental health needs <br />by phone. Our WIC is the only Mental Health agency in the county that provides free immediate access to <br />mental health screening and crisis intervention. We also provide by appointment mental health treatment <br />on a sliding fee schedule for those who have no insurance and are at 300% or below the poverty level <br />and cannot qualify for hospital district indigent services. Services by appointment include individual and <br />family psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, group therapy, psycho- <br />educational classes, and skill building coaching for children and teens ages 4-17. We have a medication <br />assistance program through which our indigent clients are able to receive free medications. We also link <br />our psychiatric care clients to medication assistance programs through pharmaceutical companies. We <br />remain one of the few IRC agencies treating children under the age of 6. Additional no charge services <br />we provide to the Indian River community are a bi-monthly Mood and Anxiety Support group, Case <br />Management services, completion of support applications as FL Access site, and a Medical Security <br />Program that, as a safeguard, registers the care needs and support system for adults with severe and <br />persistently mental illness and/or other functional impairment. Services are provided Monday- Fridays <br />from 8:30am- 5:30pm. The Walk -In Center is located at 820 37th Place, Vero Beach, FL 32960.
