Certified Peer Support

Certified Peer Support Specialists are individuals who have lived through mental health experiences. They are trained and certified by the State of Minnesota to provide person-centered services to others with mental health challenges or substance abuse issues. Peer Support Specialists hold a personal belief in recovery and a genuine interest in their peers’ recovery. Peers share their own recovery stories in ways that inspire and encourage them. They provide a model of recovery for others by personally demonstrating recovery is possible.

How can a Peer Support Specialist help me?

A Peer can empower you in using strengths to create a self-determined path to recovery, identifying and overcoming barriers to participation in community resources, building relationships, and supporting community-based activities such as work, relationships, and physical movement, among other things.

Early Childhood Mental Health (ECMH)

The social and emotional development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers is important, and so are the relationships they have with their caregivers. ECMH services for these children (ages 0-5 years old) and their families focus on enhancing the connection between young children and their caregivers.

Also available in Lake County, MN and St. Louis County, MN
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

PCIT is a great opportunity for families with young children (ages 2-7 years old) whose behaviors are difficult to manage. Families participate in weekly sessions that provide training for parents on how to manage their children’s behavior while improving their relationships with their children.

PCIT has been successful with oppositional/defiant problems, aggressive behaviors, Attention Deficit Hyper-Activity Disorder (ADHD), severe temper tantrums, the impact of abuse/neglect, and exposure to alcohol/drugs before birth. PCIT requires a 12–14-week commitment to a 1-hour-long session per week.

Homeless Program

We believe homelessness is not a choice and, given the opportunity for safe, affordable housing, everyone prefers a permanent place to live. HDC’s Homeless Program serves individuals in Duluth who are homeless, have a mental illness, and may have health problems and substance abuse issues. We provide community outreach to locate people experiencing homelessness and assist them in obtaining and keeping permanent housing. We also provide case management, employment assistance, transportation, benefits assistance, and crisis intervention.

Also available in Lake County, MN and St. Louis County, MN

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT is an evidence-based practice proven to reduce the need for inpatient detoxification services, improve patient survival, and sustain long-term recovery. MAT also decreases illicit opiate use and criminal activity among people with substance use disorders, increases people’s ability to gain and maintain employment, and improves birth outcomes for pregnant women with substance use disorders. MAT medications are available for opioid, alcohol, amphetamine, and tobacco use disorders.

Services available include housing assistance, medication monitoring, employability support, outreach, crisis assistance, education and support, and assistance with daily living activities.

Outreach Centers

HDC outreach centers offer persons with mental health disabilities the opportunity to be part of a social club, make friends, and learn new skills. Outreach centers use a consumer empowerment model, integrating consumer-led activities, socialization, community outings, games, music, and support groups with the more traditional staff leadership. While these centers are not treatment programs, they work closely with staff from other HDC CSP services to assist consumers with vocational, housing, and psychotherapy needs.
