FLORIDA BEHAVIORAL SERVICES, INC. works closely with the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) in order to provide a complete wrap-around access to much needed community services for our clients. The ACCESS program is part of DCF and is responsible for improving lives and strengthening the community by determining eligibility for cash and medical assistance for individuals on the road to economic recovery. The program also determines food eligibility so that families can get the nutrition they need.

We believe that having access to these social services provides for a strong mentally healthy individual.  That is why at our facility we have a designated area called the "ACCESS Department". This is where individuals can go to apply for DCF services such as Medicaid or Medicare Savings Program, food stamps and temporary cash assistance. The ACCESS Department also provides referrals and linkages, along with consultations, coordination, monitoring and follow-up services for the persons we serve.
