mental health, substance use, and developmental services provide quality services to members of the community. Mental health and substance use services support individuals who are experiencing the effects of acute or severe emotional distress, including mental illness as well as to individuals who are experiencing the negative effects of substance use. Services include intensive community supports, including residential, vocational, case management, and medication management so that individuals with mental illness can live successfully in the community; mental health services for homeless individuals; and outpatient mental health and substance use treatment services. Developmental services support individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism, which promote individual growth and expression and enable people to live as active and valued members of their communities. Services are tailored to meet individual and family needs and can be a vital support system throughout a person's life. To this end we provide support in the following areas: residential services, family supports, vocational services, community inclusion activities, and transition services. During fiscal year 2017 services were provided to 6174 individuals.

successful integration of howard center's three former population specific crisis teams (first call for children and families, developmental services on-call and adult mobile crisis team) into one new program, first call for chittenden county, as of may 2017. Also this year first call for chittenden county expanded from 17 to 19 ftes with the two additional positions funded in partnership with uvm mc and fully based at the emergency department.
