About Niagara County Department of Health

Niagara County Mental Health Lockport, in Lockport, New York, serves as the primary access point for the county’s adult services. Counseling and wellness services are available for those aged 12 and older including addiction treatment as well as therapy and crisis intervention.

They can also help those who have co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. The clinic accepts a variety of insurance plans and has a sliding scale for those who don’t have insurance coverage.

Specialized Trauma Programs in Niagara County

One thing I noticed about this program is that they have the typical counseling services, but they also have a specialty in treating different types of trauma. They have targeted programs for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and survivors of homicide victims as well as individual programs for adult victims of rape, sexual assault, domestic violence and assault. Each of these events deeply affects the survivors’ lives. So having a program where they can support each other and have their experiences understood can make a big difference especially if they are also in recovery from substance use.

24/7 Access to Crisis Care and Wellness

Another thing that struck me is that the county has worked to ensure people have 24/7 access to care and support even when the clinic isn’t open. They have crisis services including mobile crisis outreach that can meet you where you are, as well as debriefing services after the community has suffered a significant trauma.

There is also a wellness app called Well Niagara. This app connects you to crisis services, mental health support and harm reduction services at any time. It also has information about accessing basic needs like food and clothing, types of counseling available and Niagara community services.
