Referral and Intake Process:

 
Referrals must be made through Monroe County Single Point of Access (SPOA) to begin the application process.

Referrals are typically made by a treatment professional including psychiatrists, therapists, or social workers from a hospital-based inpatient mental health facility or outpatient program but families and potential residents can also begin the referral process. Families and clients are encouraged to be active participants in making this important decision. Both are encouraged to learn more about DePaul’s services, program expectations, and sites to see how each best match the interests of the client prior to a formal referral.

DePaul may be recommended by a community service provider, however the client needs to make the commitment to entering and engaging in the program. It’s therefore vital that the client visit the program and meet with staff members and other clients so they may make an informed decision.

If you or someone you know who would benefit from placement and have further questions about our services, please contact Yvonne Adams, Intake Director, at yadams@depaul.org.
