If you’re an older adult dealing with mental health issues, you might also have trouble getting to a therapist or counselor, because of transportation issues or because your health limits your mobility. That’s where Mobile Mental Health Treatment (MMHT) helps.
Your MMHT therapist travels to your home to work with you when you’re unable to leave the house. For clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, hoarding or other disorders that make it difficult to go out and seek treatment, MMHT helps by making therapy accessible.
