Batavia Counselors’ Collaboration Resource Guide
Multiple community groups came together to produce this Batavia Counselors’ Collaboration Resource Guide with mental health tips, information, and resources for families. Here is their website, a YouTube playlist of resources, and their Facebook page.
We always encourage families to check with their insurance and primary care physicians to be sure that the services are appropriate and covered. In some cases, agencies in the area will provide services based on income at little to no cost to the family.
