September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month and too many LGBTQIA+ young people still face mental health barriers.

✨Here’s What We Know✨
❗Nearly 4 in 10 seriously considered su***de in the past year (2024, The Trevor Project)
❗1 in 2 who wanted support could not access it
❗Since 2022, the LGBTQ+ hotline has answered 1.3 million+ calls

💜 These numbers are more than statistics; they’re reminders that connection and access to care save lives.

Social and Emotional skills, often learned at a young age, are the basis for mental health. Our Head Start mental health consultants work with children, families, and staff on ways to grow these skills and to support the parents going through challenging situations. They are also able to refer children and families to additional local services.

Our Story

Northwestern Mental Health Center is a private, non-profit organization established in 1962. We are a certified community mental health center that serves individuals, children and families in six northwestern Minnesota counties including Kittson, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Polk and Red Lake. Our organization provides a full range of mental health and substance use disorder services.

In January 2017, Northwestern Mental Health Center was designated as one of six Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics in Minnesota. Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics(CCBHCs) were created through The Excellence in Mental Health Act ​​​​​​demonstration program to expand Americans’ access to mental health and addiction care in community-based settings. The federal demonstration project is measuring how well an integrated community clinic model of care can improve service quality and accessibility. CCBHCs take a person-centered approach that looks at the whole health (physical health, mental health and social service needs) of the individual. They provide a comprehensive set of services that promote recovery, wellness and trauma-informed care. CCBHCs serve adults, adolescents and children, as well as placing a special emphasis on active and veteran military care.

NWMHC has more than 150 staff members who represent psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health professionals, mental health practitioners, peer recovery specialists and administrative professionals. Northwestern Mental Health Center works with a team of professionals throughout the community to assure that those seeking assistance receive the best possible options for their care, recovery and wellness.
