ACCESS - Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities

At ACCESS, we provide services to children and adults living with mental illness. Living with a mental illness can seem to be an immovable obstacle to the person diagnosed, as well as to their family and friends. The change brought on by the illness might be slow or sudden and the destructive potential is always present. ACCESS is here to help facilitate recovery and provide support services to individuals and their loved ones. ACCESS does not exclude someone from treatment based on ability to pay. Services are delivered on the basis of consumer need, without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, age, physical handicap, medical disability, military status, citizenship status, sexual orientation, gender identity.

ACCESS is a community-based organization providing mental health and intellectual developmental disability services to the residents of Anderson and Cherokee Counties. Their comprehensive approach ensures that treatment is accessible to all, regardless of ability to pay, and emphasizes support for individuals living with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse issues. In addition to mental health services, ACCESS offers programs such as the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team, Family and Youth Success initiatives, and the Youth Empowerment Services Waiver, all aimed at fostering resilience and promoting strong family dynamics. The organization also supports veterans through the Military Veteran Peer Network, enhancing community connections and resource accessibility. Generated from the website
