What is Information and Referral?
Access to the most up-to-date information provides relief. Through the MHA in Niagara County and the Niagara County Department of Mental Health, you can find out about valuable service agencies and how to connect with them.
Information is categorized so you can easily find services related to: addictions, children/youth, community service agencies, counseling, crisis & emergency services, education/training, employment, family, financial, food & clothing, LGBTQ+, government, health insurance, health services, housing, law enforcement, legal issues, mental health, post offices, public libraries, senior citizens, special interests, support groups, transportation, utilities and veterans.
You can access this information any time of the day or night, whether you want to call, go online, browse the HELP Book, or stop by our office (Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:00pm).
