A Comprehensive Children's Crisis Services Mental Health System
Polk County Health Services is happy to be administering the Polk County Children's Mental Health Regional System for Children.
Over the past two years we have worked with stakeholders, mental health providers, and community leaders who have joined together in doing the hard work of creating a system that will meet the needs of children and families. There is more work to be done, but we are off to a great start with new children’s crisis services!
