Positive Directions - The Center for Prevention & Counseling is a small to mid-sized nonprofit in the mental health care sector, based in Westport, Massachusetts. The organization was founded in 1971 in Westport, Connecticut, and it provides both treatment for mental health and addictive behaviors as well as prevention programs that build resiliency and life skills for adolescents, adults, and families. It serves individuals, families, and communities seeking support for mental health concerns and prevention resources, balancing clinical care with skill-building initiatives. A notable recent development is a collaboration with Norwalk ACTS and the City to develop a logic model addressing the youth mental health crisis. This partnership reflects the organization's ongoing community-based approach to prevention and counseling, extending its reach through local coalitions and outreach efforts.
