Greenleaf is here if a person or family is experiencing a crisis. But we work even harder to prevent crises through ongoing mental health services, school-based counseling and su***de prevention, and advocacy and education programs for parents.

Prevention is the key to reducing crises. Help us help our community build resiliency and thrive.
