KUNR Public Radio | By Michele Ravera

Mojave Mental Health provides community-based behavioral health services.

From medication and therapy to case management and day treatment for adults, the organization offers care for a variety of situations. Trish Romo-Macaluso took some time to go over some background on the facility and what kinds of services are available there.

Leading this discussion is Anne McMillin of the University of Nevada School of Medicine.
