The Weems Community Mental Health Center for Children and Youth Services in Meridian, Mississippi is one of a few of their support locations. This DMH certified nonprofit facility specializes in mental and behavioral health services including addiction treatment for young people and their families.

Parent and family involvement is also an important part of this program with parent education sessions included.
