Merakey Jewella Avenue

Guiding adults toward recovery and stronger daily functioning, Merakey Jewella Avenue is an outpatient behavioral health center for people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, addiction, serious mental illness, and emotional distress. They address psychiatric and behavioral health needs affecting relationships, work, housing, and independent living through personalized treatment that connects clinical care with practical support for greater stability and wellbeing.

Carry Progress into Routine

They provide therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, case management, peer support, and life-skills development. Their CARF-accredited Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team delivers coordinated care for adults with serious mental illness. They also connect clients with housing, benefits, transportation, healthcare, and employment resources, helping them manage symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and carry recovery into work, relationships, and everyday routines.

Expand Hope in the Community

Located along Jewella Avenue, this center is part of Merakey, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people, families, and communities. Merakey began in Philadelphia in 1969 as The Northwest Center, later became NHS Human Services, and has grown into a multi-state provider serving 12 states across behavioral health, autism, addiction recovery, intellectual and developmental disability, education, foster care, aging, and veteran services. At this location, they carry that mission forward through respectful, recovery-focused care that helps adults build greater stability, independence, confidence, and hope in daily life.
