The Court Navigator is in place to assist individuals involved in the judicial system with referral to Behavioral Health services as ordered by the Judge.

Both services are intended to aid in the minimization of recidivism and to assist with gaining access to needed services.

Through education and monitoring, the Visitation and Exchange Center strives to prevent future generations from repeating the cycle of displacement and move towards healthier communication. The Center helps foster productive relationships with families while providing monitored visits, exchanges between guardians and coordinating services for the mental health needs for children and their families. This is also used to monitor parental exchanges for home visitation when the exchange has been problematic in the past.

Assessments of individuals with psychiatric or emotional difficulties. Prescribers provide medications as needed and monitor their effectiveness, including side effects. 

Outpatient counseling services for individuals and group settings. Our mental health professionals are assigned to meet the needs of every client’s service plan.

For adults who experience severe and persistent mental illness. They receive treatment in individual sessions that provide ongoing assessment of needs, assistance in managing those needs, and the development of daily living skills.

This process consists of gathering information to assess an individual’s behavioral health needs. Clinicians then determine the best service mix of mental health, addiction, employment, and vocational rehabilitation services to assist in recovery.

According to Smith, the telephone number 330-452-6000 has been Stark County’s crisis line for over twenty years. Individuals can find this number on Coleman’s website, Stark County’s Mental Health & Addiction Recovery site, and through various community agencies. 

Trained and dedicated crisis center personnel also answer Stark County calls placed to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, Opiate Hotline (330-454-4357), and the COVID CareLine.  All in all, this help center fields roughly 6,000 calls per month. 

While telehealth visits are still available for those who do not feel safe traveling to our center at 2421 13th St. NW in Canton, we do have procedures to keep staff and patients safe during this time. 

All staff must have their temperature taken at the start of each shift and always wear a mask. When clients walk in, we take their temp, they are given a mask if they don’t have one and asked a series of COVID-19 screening questions. If they have a fever or answer yes to any of the items, they are moved to a private office for telehealth support by one of our counselors. 

We sanitize our common areas multiple times a day, and our assessment rooms after a CPS staff member sees each patient.

In August 2018, Coleman Professional Services started offering this service. The stabilization’s mission is to provide a place for individuals who do not feel safe at home. Each person can stay up to fourteen days with 24/7 nursing care. We offer individual and group counseling at this location as well. 

We have learned from national research that meeting a person that’s experiencing a crisis in their environment has a higher success rate as compared to coming into an office or center. As a result, Coleman has two mobile response teams to serve Stark County – one for adults and the other for youth – where licensed counselors arrive within minutes of your call. We help with: 

• Family arguments
• Feelings of isolation
• Substance use worries
• Coping with stress

Historically, we have averaged 100 assessments per month. It was slow once the stay-at-home orders went into effect, but since the beginning of May, there has been a steady increase in a request for mobile response services.
