About AWARE Missoula
AWARE is a statewide nonprofit organization in Montana offering community services for individuals with mental health issues and developmental disabilities. Their main office in Missoula features applied behavioral analysis, psychiatric care, job support, and behavioral health care and assertive community treatment. Discounts and sliding scale fees are provided based on family size and income.
All services at AWARE are designed to help people live successfully within the community and have independent lives. Case managers help families assess the services they need and create a plan that includes their goals and allows them to use a variety of programs.
To treat behaviors like substance abuse and other mental health disorders, group and individual counseling services are available. You’ll meet with a psychiatrist who can help with medication management and psychoeducation. Telehealth psychiatrist appointments make treatment accessible for people who live in rural Montana.
What sets AWARE apart is their two holistic treatment programs known as the Mind Body Wellness program and the Therapeutic Recreation program. Based on individual strengths and goals of the group, the therapeutic recreation program includes experiences and interventions that are experiential and recreational. This includes fitness, learning coping and social skills, and group training.
The mind body wellness program incorporates yoga, meditation, and other mindful practices. You’ll be encouraged to learn empathy, gratitude, and mental wellness. Sound meditation and breathwork will be offered to help decrease anxiety and stress.
Knowing employment is crucial to recovery, AWARE will give you individual support employment services. This will provide you with support in finding and maintaining a career.
