Mental health is an important part of overall health, and no one should feel like they have to face life’s challenges alone.
At Crawford County Memorial Hospital, we are committed to supporting the emotional and mental well-being of our community through care for individuals and families of all ages. From counseling and therapy services to specialized support for older adults, our goal is to help people find hope, healing, and encouragement close to home.
Why Mental Health Care Matters
Life can bring stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, depression, and unexpected challenges. Sometimes these feelings pass with time. Other times, additional support from a therapist can make all the difference.
Getting help with mental health concerns is just as important as seeking care for physical health concerns. Talking with a trained professional can help individuals develop coping skills, process difficult emotions, improve relationships, and regain a sense of balance and hope.

The program offers intensive outpatient group therapy, individual support, medication education, family involvement, and after-care planning tailored to each participant’s unique needs.

- Feelings of hopelessness
- Changes in appetite or energy
