Personal Enrichment through Mental Health Services, Inc. (PEMHS) is located at 11254 58th Street North, Pinellas Park, Florida 33782. The history of this private, non-profit 501(c)(3) agency dates back to 1981 when Personal Enrichment through Mental Health Services (PEMHS) was formed as a result of a community need. PEMHS was established as public receiving facility in Pinellas County to address the needs of those individuals exiting the state hospitals and returning to the community as part of movement towards deinstitutionalization. From that beginning, the organization has evolved and our continuum of services provides individuals with an array of programs to support families, prevent placement in more restrictive settings, and effectively address the crisis and long-term mental health needs of the community. PEMHS serves Pinellas County as the public receiving facility for mental health crisis stabilization services for both adults and children and provides services to all citizens eligible for Baker Act services, regardless of their ability to pay. %newline% %newline%PEMHS operates 14 programs located at 6 locations in Pinellas County that served more than 10,000 clients in the past fiscal year. More than 80 percent were at or below federal poverty guidelines and more than 15% were homeless. PEMHS is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the American Association of Suicidology. Additionally, PEMHS is a member of the National Suicide Prevention LifeLine Network and is providing services to the Veterans Affairs Suicide Hotline. %newline% %newline%Service locations include clientsâ?? homes, homeless shelters, the county jail, juvenile detention center, and agency offices. Programs are available to clients of all ages. They include a suicide prevention hotline available 24-hours per day, immediate crisis evaluation and assessment, mental health and substance abuse counseling, individual and group counseling, medication management, referrals to community resources, aftercare services; emergency services, crisis intervention counseling, referrals, crisis stabilization, and inpatient services. %newline% %newline%PEMHS is dedicated to enhancing the mental health, family functioning and development of adults and children in our community. %newline%

Donations needed for Therapuetic Recreation AreaPEMHS recently developed a diverse capital campaign project to raise monies to develop a therapeutic recreational area that will permit the disadvantaged and at risk children served by our programs the ability to receive enhanced and expanded recreational activities and recreational therapy so that they will be better able to develop the skills and behaviors for daily living and community involvement and to ease the their transition back to their families and friends. An integral part of each child's therapeutic experience is their participation in recreational activities and recreational therapy. Studies have shown that children who participate in sports are more likely to succeed as adults and recreational therapy has been shown to: - Reduce/decrease the signs and symptoms of depression, anxiety, tension, sleep disturbances, negative thinking, problem or delinquent behavior, and - Improve or increase competence, retention of skills, socialization, cooperation, communication skills, tolerance for change, trust, family relations, personal responsibility, self concept/confidence, and appropriate use of discretionary time, and - Decrease the lengths of stay by youth in residential and inpatient programs. Children served through PEMHS residential programs have complex conditions that require extended services in order to adequately treat their psychiatric and psychosocial needs. PEMHS is committed to improving the emotional, cognitive, physical, social and leisure needs of children entrusted to our care.
