If you or someone you know has lost psychiatric services due to county budget cuts and service reductions, we might be able to help. About every other Saturday starting at noon, St. Andrew’s UMC hosts a completely free mental health clinic where a psychiatrist can offer medication renewals and adjustments. Services are limited and offered on a first-come first-served basis.
