Louisiana’s Mental Health Nonprofit, Options, Running Out Of ‘Options’

Circle Connections: New Products & Services The only nonprofit agency in the region that offers treatment for children and adults with serious developmental issues is in trouble, local officials say. Options primarily serves adolescents and adults who are mentally ill or have other serious behavioral issues. On average, Options works with about 200 children and their families at any given time. However, services for adults are almost nonexistent with a waiting list of about 80 people. This was reported by Houma Today on January 17, 2013.
