Front Porch, Mental Health Urgent Care

The Front Porch welcomes adults and families experiencing a mental health situation and seeking immediate care.

Now Open 24/7



Welcome to the Front Porch. 

In a world where mental health support often feels distant and clinical, imagine a program that feels warm and welcoming. The Front Porch, an initiative by Northeast Kingdom Human Services, is reshaping mental health support by embracing a community-based, person-centered approach.

The Front Porch isn't just a physical space; it's a sanctuary for those navigating the complexities of mental health care. Here, clients aren't just patients; they're valued members of a supportive community.

The Front Porch welcomes adults and families who are experiencing a mental health situation and seeking immediate care. Walk in, day or night, and be seen by a mental health professional.
