Most large medical groups such as Baycare and Suncoast provide behavioral health services including infant and early childhood support, family counselling, substance abuse, and in- and outpatient psychiatric care. Licensed emergency mental health and suicide prevention services are available from non-profit, PEHMS.
Our progressive community is home to not only conventional medical specialists, but some of the nation’s top herbalists, acupuncturists, and other holistic healthcare professionals.
