On July 1, 2015 when Twin Oaks merged with Greater Trenton Behavioral Healthcare, we proudly welcomed 15 new programs from Mercer County to our family of services. Since 1981, Greater Trenton Behavioral HealthCare has helped tens of thousands of Mercer County residents find innovative, life-enhancing solutions to their mental health and substance abuse problems.
As we move forward together as Oaks Integrated Care, our roots are now stronger than ever. Mercer service areas include:
- Outpatient Counseling
- Adult Partial Care
- Adolescent Partial Care
- Crisis Diversion
- Supportive Housing
- Homeless Outreach
- Senior Well-Being
- Case Management
- Intensive Family Support Services
Last year, Mercer programs served over 3,000 children and adults in need of support in our community. Adults like Carlos…
Carlos was unemployed, living in a homeless shelter and trying his best to cope with his schizophrenia. Without a proper diagnosis or medication, Carlos was having trouble functioning day to day. A Mercer outreach coordinator met him at the shelter and over time, gained his trust. Carlos gained the courage to start attending Outpatient Services where he was evaluated, diagnosed and given the proper medication. He also began individual and group therapy. After just over a year in the program, Carlos is now employed full time, living in his own apartment and attending college part time. No dreams are too big- he hopes to one day graduate and become an engineer.
