their daily living and psychosocial skills.
*EMSH does not accept group home residents that are not already receiving treatment from EMSH.
Treatment Mall:
Sponsored by EMSH and the Mental Health Association in Lauderdale County, the center offers outpatient services
to mental health clients living in the community. The Treatment Mall is the opportunity for each Individual Receiving Services

treatment consistant with a continuum of evidence based practices. Personal healing and growth occurs through self-examination
and interaction with others in the treament mall.
