Mental Health and Wellness for our students and community is an important part of the Community of Care. SPC has provided a list of the community partners in Pinellas County who take private insurance, self-pay and when needed can offer payment solutions such as applying for benefits or a sliding scale fee for services. Please note, due to a high volume of calls many of our community partners are experiencing longer periods of wait times for appointments.
The Resources for Life Issues page provides the names and phone numbers for Pinellas County social and human services providers by topic.
