Currently, we offer two educational services to family members of the consumers we serve: Consumer/Family Education Regarding Medications, and Alcohol & Other Drug Abuse and Dependency. The services are free, but persons wishing to attend must register at the receptionist desk before attending.
Consumer/Family Education Regarding Medications
Do you want to know more about the medications prescribed for mental health problems? If so, Community Counseling Services offers free consultation with a medical professional. Here, you can discuss your medication-related questions and concerns.
WHERE: at the offices of Community Counseling Services
WHO: Judy Saccenti, R.N.
WHAT: Judy will discuss the questions related to general medication concerns, such as: how a medication may help you or a loved one; why a medication may have been prescribed; how to take the medicine as prescribed; as well as what are the possible side effects and the important safety concerns. However, the education provided is not a substitute for medical care from a doctor, and Judy will direct you to contact a physician when appropriate.
