Community and Court Partnership Services
Mental health collaboration and partnerships for organizations, professionals, and families navigating complex relational needs across Indiana and Illinois
Flexible on-site, virtual, and consultative partnership models designed to support youth, adults, families, and the professionals who serve them
Supporting Individuals, Families, and Systems in Real-World Contexts
Individuals and families often access support through multiple systems — schools, community programs, courts, healthcare providers, and social services. Professionals within these settings often witness emotional, behavioral, and relational needs before formal therapeutic support is established.
At Relational Wellness Therapy, we partner with organizations and professionals to provide accessible, relationship-centered mental health support that complements existing services and promotes stability, connection, and growth.
Our collaborative approach allows therapeutic support to occur within familiar environments while strengthening coordination across care teams and systems.
