Mental health treatment is on the way for people living on the street in Mecklenburg County.

“Wellness Without Walls” is a new street psychiatry program connecting psychiatrists and registered nurses with those in the county’s homeless population who may be in need of mental health services.

Through a collaboration between Atrium Health, Alliance Health, Roof Above and Hearts for the Invisible, groups of street outreach workers and medical professionals will seek out unhoused adults, 18 years old and older, either with a diagnosed or undiagnosed disorder.
