Key Point first started in 1983 as a private, non-profit corporation to offer patients assistance in the communities in which they lived. Services began in Dundalk, and then expanded to Aberdeen and Catonsville.

Chief Executive Officer Karl Weber says, "In a little over two years, the clinic in Aberdeen has grown from 525 patients to 1200 patients, which is positive proof that there is a need for specialized mental health care in Harford County. I am eager and proud to assist my fellow Harford Countians with the care they deserve." "In the Catonsville clinic we have an enrollment of 1200 patients and in Dundalk there are 1400 patients of whom half are children".

With a staff of 250 employees and a budget of over 11 million dollars, Key Point offers the best care one could possibly ever want. There are social workers, doctors, clinical therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists right on the spot.

In the specialized Psychiatric Rehabilitation Programs for persons with serious and persistent mental illness social skills are taught and developed throughout various workshops. In the program, computer training, woodshop, counseling, academics, domestic, janitorial, ceramic, clerical and physical education classes are offered. All these classes aid in the transition of people from the hospital back to the community.

Key Point also utilizes a targeted case management program, where people who are referred by social services or the court systems in the area can be offered aid and assistance. In addition, Key Point seeks out potential clients who would benefit from the program. In turn, they are provided with the guidance and support they need to access care.

So if you're someone that needs some assistance in their life, or know of a friend who needs some enrichment in their life, give Key Point a call and make a change for the better. You'll be closer toward leading the healthy, fulfilling life that you deserve. Call 443-625-1600 or www.keypoint.org.
