Mission Statement
The Mission of The Beckman Center is to create and maintain quality mental health programs and services that support the recovery of persons with mental illness. South Carolina Counties served include Abbeville, Edgefield, Greenwood, Laurens, McCormick, Newberry and Saluda. The Center will work to create a safe, accessible and culturally competent environment which leads to a process driven by individual strengths, needs, abilities and preferences.
Priority is given to:
(1) Adults experiencing serious mental illness(es) and to children, adolescents and families experiencing serious emotional disturbance(s);
(2) Persons in need of screening and, when applicable, crisis intervention services; and
(3) The general population as resources allow.
The Beckman Center Board and Staff are committed to promoting the philosophy of recovery and a person-centered philosophy, to eliminating stigma and to achieving mutual goals in collaboration with all stakeholders. We will partner with the community to identify resources designed to foster individual dignity, respect and independence and to encourage additional resources where needed. The Center will promote a quality of life that enhances the mental health of all people of this area.
