About Us

Passages Behavioral Health Services was founded out of need to service mentally ill, co-occurring, correctional clients seeking a second chance. Our 40 years of clinical experience has prepared us to do this work which includes providing case management, Community Living Suppports (CLS), clinical assessment, treatment planning and more. Passages Behavioral Health also manages re-entry housing for this population know as the Passages House. We provide a service that not only bridges folks to another chance but helps maintain their progress in the community.

Laughter as Medicine

Laughter is a good way to let go. Sometimes, we can take life too seriously. We become frantic, worried, fearful, sad or angry. Usually, what we are experiencing at any given time in our lives is just a drop in the ocean. It is just a dot of the whole picture.

A clown is like an aspirin, only he works twice as fast.
- Groucho Marx

Medical studies indicate that laughter boosts levels of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and suppresses levels of epinephrine, the stress hormone.

So, laugh! Watch a good funny movie! Move those stomach muscles! Lighten up. One thing for sure about life is that it is always changing and we have the ability to impact the direction of our lives. Contact Us.
