CBH-SOAR PROGRAM
The Center for Behavioral Health Screening, Outreach, Assessment, and Resilience (CBH-SOAR)
Program offers services for Mississippians aged 14-25 years old who may be experiencing concerning
changes to their thoughts, feelings, or behavior. If you or a loved one are experiencing
increased difficulty at work or school, feelings of suspiciousness, withdrawal from
social relationships, or changes to your emotional experience, we are here to help!
These experiences may indicate that a person is at risk for developing a serious mental
illness, and early intervention can help to reduce this risk. The CBH-SOAR Program
provides an evidence-based, stepped-care approach in which services are tailored to
the needs of each individual. We encourage you to review CBH-SOAR Program resources
and contact us to see if you may be eligible to receive services.
