The department is staffed by psychiatrists, licensed clinical social-workers (LCSWs), Marriage, Family and Child Counselors (MFTs) and support staff. Members interact extensively to assure that patient needs are met:

• Some patients may require serious psychiatric treatment, including carefully monitored medications to enable them to function and begin to recover.
  
• Others require social-work counseling to help them steer through specific life and family situations, or to overcome emotional blocks or traumas.
  
• Still others do best with group support, which enables them to draw on the struggles, successes and guidance of others who have been-or still are-in similar emotional and life circumstances.
  
• Some patients may move from one to another form of treatment as part of their healing process.

There are groups led by the therapists that focus mainly on interpersonal relationships (at home and work) and cognitive skills (how your thinking can affect your mental health, such as triggering depression).
