The NCIA Augustus Institute for Mental Health is committed to providing a comprehensive system of support services to meet the special needs of youth and adults who are at risk of being placed in more restrictive, institutional settings away from their families and communities, or who may be involved in illegal or dangerous activities.

The Augustus Institute's philosophy of care is based upon the belief that each individual in need of mental health services is both special and capable of positive growth and change. From the beginning and throughout the treatment process, the care we offer is unconditional and without judgment, encouraging our clients to connect with the community in ways that are comfortable and beneficial to everyone.
