About Us
Our Mission
Mental Edge Counseling’s focus is more than behavioral health services. Our mission is to provide modern approaches using a trauma-informed and a culturally sensitive lens to produce results that will enhance our clients’ overall quality of life and mental health. We strive to develop a strong relationship with our clients and community by providing an inviting experience during every phone call and every visit.
Level 3 Trauma-Informed Facility
Mental Edge Counseling has been working to meet the 4 levels of trauma informed care for the state of Delaware. We have successfully completed level 1, becoming trauma aware, level 2, becoming trauma sensitive, and level 3, becoming trauma responsive. We are currently working on completing level 4, becoming completely trauma-informed.
To complete the first 3 levels, we had to work on many things within the multiple layers that make up Mental Edge and the work we do. We have increased education and training for all employees, focused on employee mental health and self-care, provided educational material for clients, made sure specific trauma interventions are available for those who need them, revised policies and procedures as well as the mission statement, increased use of trauma assessments and safety plans for all clients, and have also begun to adjust routines and the overall infrastructure of the organization.
MESSAGE FROM THE OWNERS
Our goal is to continue to build a team of individuals that are second to none! A team that shares the same mission, vision, and values. A team that isn’t afraid to face whatever challenges come their way - because they know they won’t have to do it alone. A team that understands we do not do failure. We do not quit. We do not do fear. A team that understands we are in this together.
