• Be 18 years or older
• Have a mental health diagnosis that interferes with daily functioning
• Have a functional impairment in one or more life areas (e.g., personal care, employment, housing)

• In the community – We can meet you at local community centers, parks, or other locations.
• Telehealth – Virtual sessions are available for clients with transportation challenges or scheduling conflicts.
 
The length of services depends on your individual needs and progress. ARMHS services are not time-limited; you can continue receiving support as long as you meet the eligibility criteria and are making progress toward your treatment goals.
 
Your treatment plan is developed based on a Functional Assessment conducted by a licensed mental health professional.
The plan will:

Set measurable goals for recovery and independence
Outline the specific services and strategies that will help you achieve those goals
 
Treatment plans are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect your progress and any changing needs.

Minnesota Medical Assistance (MA)
Most managed care plans under MA
