Lamoille County Mental Health Services

What Lamoille County Mental Health Services does

Lamoille County Mental Health Services (LCMHS) is a Vermont state-designated nonprofit community mental health agency founded in 1966, headquartered in Morrisville, Vermont. Operating with a $14 million annual budget and approximately 250 staff, LCMHS delivers mental health, developmental, behavioral, and family support services to over 1,000 individuals annually across the Lamoille Valley. The organization is structured into four service divisions: Behavioral Health Services (Adult Outpatient, Community Cadre, Intensive Adult Mental Health Services, Psychiatric Services), Children, Youth & Family Services (Access Crisis Support, Children's Integrated Services, Children's Outpatient, School-Based Clinician Services, The Redwood Program), Developmental Services (Home and Community-Based Waiver Services), and Emergency Care Services (Mobile Crisis Team, Oasis House, Team Two). Two residential facilities — Copley House (22 beds, Level 3 licensed) and Johnson Group Home (7 beds, HUD residence) — supplement the outpatient and community-based service continuum, supported by an additional Oasis House crisis stabilization unit.

LCMHS's delivery model emphasizes natural-environment service provision: clinical and case management staff operate in consumer homes, schools (across 22 local school partnerships including Wolcott, Morrisville, Stowe, Hardwick, and Lamoille Union), child care settings, and workplaces, rather than solely in clinical offices. Twenty-four-hour crisis services include a Mobile Crisis Team, Crisis Text Line integration (text VT to 741741), and Team Two co-response with local law enforcement. The agency uses evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, WRAP, CAMS therapy, the Attachment Self-Regulation and Competency model, and Columbia-Suicide Severity Risk Scale screening as part of the Zero Suicide initiative.

Revenue derives primarily from Vermont state contracts, Medicaid reimbursement, and Global Commitment to Health arrangements with the Department of Vermont Health Access (DVHA), supplemented by tax-deductible donations to the 501(c)(3) entity. Services are provided on a sliding scale based on ability to pay, consistent with designated-agency obligations. LCMHS is one of 10 designated agencies in the Vermont Care Partners network, governed by a Board of Directors and led by CEO Jennifer Stratton, with Co-CFOs Derek Hoy and Savi VanSluytman. Geographic operations are strictly bounded to the Lamoille Valley catchment area per state designation.
