We're focused on providing programs through our experts & skilled professionals
MCT has three student programs in which we provide strengths-based, individual, and family-centered services to address depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences or other mental health struggles. Participating in these programs will help students reach their full potential at school, at home, and in the community. After an initial assessment with one of our strengths-based clinicians, students will be placed in the program best suited to their goals.
