Mental Health and Crisis Services
At Lanterman, we strongly believe that health and well-being can be fully attained only if mental health is also prioritized.
We are proud to share the Mental Health Resource Directory, developed to support individuals, families, service coordinators, and providers in identifying mental health services and community-based support.
Our crisis services providers not only respond to imminent crises, but are also available prior to a crisis to prevent, stabilize, and strengthen long-term outcomes.
Wellness Toolkit
The DDS Wellness Toolkit is a new section of the DDS website focused on providing information and tools related to health and safety for self-advocates, direct support professionals, and vendors or providers. New topics, tools, and information will be added on an ongoing basis.
