Personalized Behavioral Health Support for Individuals of All Abilities

Behavioral Health Home

This approach focuses on the whole person by bringing together primary care, mental health services, and community supports. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, it helps make sure care is coordinated, easy to navigate, and centered around their needs.

Our team works to connect the right services at the right time, so each person and their caregivers feel supported, understood, and confident in their care.

Clubhouse Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program

A Clubhouse is a community program that supports people living with mental illness. The people who attend are called members, and they help choose what activities and goals they want to work on. Clubhouses are welcoming places where members can build friendships, learn new skills, and take part in meaningful work. This helps members grow in confidence, gain independence, and feel more connected to their community.

Community Living Supports (CLS) Services

At Hiawatha Behavioral Health, Community Living Supports (CLS) help youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities build the skills they need to live as independently as possible and stay active in their community.

Services are based on each person’s goals, choices, and priorities, and are guided by an individualized plan of service. Support can take place at home or out in the community, wherever it fits best.

Drop-In Center

Drop-In Centers are welcoming spaces where adults can stop in for connection, support, and a sense of community. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, these spaces offer a safe and comfortable place to spend time, build friendships, and feel included.

Our center is supported by caring staff and peers who understand the value of connection, creating an environment where everyone feels respected, supported, and not alone.

Outpatient Services

At Hiawatha Behavioral Health, outpatient therapy supports youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in building emotional wellness and navigating everyday challenges. Our team works alongside each individual and their caregivers to create a plan based on their goals, strengths, and needs.

Therapy can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, life stress, and coping with past or current experiences, all in a supportive and understanding environment.

What to Expect

Care begins with a thorough assessment to determine the right level of support. From there, we develop an individualized plan of service. Therapy may include individual sessions or small group options, depending on what works best.

When appropriate, group therapy offers a chance to build skills, connect with others, and feel supported in a shared setting.

Peer-Delivered or Peer-Operated Support Services

Peer support services connect youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to individuals and other families who understand what they’re going through. Peer supporters have shared life experiences and offer a unique kind of understanding that builds trust and comfort.

By sharing their own stories, they provide encouragement, guidance, and hope. This support helps individuals build confidence, strengthen their well-being, and feel more connected as they move forward in their journey.

Psychiatric Services

We offer psychiatric services and assessments for those with an intellectual and/or developmental disability. Our team will also review medications to make sure they’re working well and are the right fit for the individual. Supportive nursing services are available to help manage health and feel supported during treatment.

Skill Building Services

Skill Building helps both youth and adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities learn skills that make everyday life more successful and independent. This may include help with school, work, volunteering, money management, and daily living skills.

Supported/Integrated Employment

Supported Employment helps both adults and young adults with with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities find and keep paid jobs in the community with the support they need. This includes ongoing assistance to make sure they’re successful in their work and feel confident in their role.
