In this episode of the Millennium Podcast, Derek and Oren introduce Atlas, a new intensive mental health program developed by Millennium Counseling Center.
They explain why Millennium is expanding its services to include partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care. Atlas combines structured group programming with individualized support from experienced clinicians who understand that treatment does not look the same for every person.
Derek and Oren also discuss the importance of skilled group facilitation, responsive treatment planning, and a clinical team that has worked together for years. Their goal is to provide people with a strong option during periods when more consistent and intensive support is needed.
