Mana Services began in 2008 to assist at-risk youth with transitional housing and the training they need to successfully live on their own. Mana Services has transitioned over 200 at-risk youth and that number grows as we continue this journey. In 2013, we realized we needed more support for our youth and Mana Resources was born. We made these services available to the community, serving individuals and families. Mana Resources encompasses all of our mental health services to include individual and family counseling, community based rehabilitation services, case management and more. In 2018 Mana Resources, LLC opened a new branch and now provides supported living services to those with developmental disabilities.
