The Hive will offer clearly identified, easily accessible points of care in the community that provide rapid access to services – no service refusal, no referral needed, and access to high quality, youth-appropriate, culturally-relevant, and evidence-informed mental health services.
​
In addition, The Hive will offer a wide variety of programs based on the needs of wellness.  The National Wellness Institute promotes ‘Six Dimensions of Wellness’: emotional, occupational, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual.  Addressing all six dimensions of wellness in our lives builds a holistic sense of wellness and fulfillment.
