Any individual or family could experience challenges in life that require professional support. The family of an infant or toddler might have concerns about their child's development, or perhaps a youngster requires professional assistance with behavioral issues. Our purpose at CMU is to help individuals and families navigate these challenging times by linking them with the proper resources. That is why our slogan reads "Charting Paths ... Creating Opportunity". At CMU, we strive to help individuals and families express their needs and priorities, and they provide information and support so they can make informed choices to address those concerns. As dedicated professionals, we share in their challenges and celebrate their successes.

Our three main service areas are:


    BulletMENTAL HEALTH Helping children (age 3 and up) or adults who have mental health needs to access supports and services. Any adult or family of a child who is interested in discussing supports and services may contact us for an intake and determination of eligibility.

    BulletMENTAL RETARDATION Helping children (age 3 and up) or adults who have mental retardation to access supports and services. Any adult or family of a child who is interested in discussing supports and services may contact us for an intake and determination of eligibility.

    BulletEARLY INTERVENTION Helping families to access services and support for children from birth up to their third birthday. Any family who may have a concern about their child may contact us for a developmental evaluation.

In the end, CMU becomes an individual's gateway into, and support within, the publicly funded early intervention, mental health, and mental retardation systems.
