Our Mission is to empower individuals and families living with mental health and substance abuse concerns by providing counseling, Care Coordination, and supportive services. We focus on individual strengths to foster the achievement of personal goals and healthy decisions. We do this because we value diversity and choice, and we are dedicated to providing a welcoming environment where everyone learns, feels respected, and is genuinely understood. At APC, we value not only the diversification of our staff but also the unique perspective each individual brings with their life experience. Through open dialogue, we challenge and learn from one another to provide culturally humble and trauma-informed care to those we serve.
