Center to offer low cost mental health care in county
A Five County Guidance Center plan would provide psychological and psychiatric aid for all ages at nominal cost. It would be staffed by a full time psychologist and case worker, plus a part time psychiatrist who would oversee therapy. Funds from county taxation typically support such centers, with Palo Alto County needing about $3,000 before January 1960 to begin operation.
