At Interact, our approach to service and care honors the whole person and their unique perspectives and needs. In order to provide exceptional levels of service in each of our three divisions, Journey’s Way: Resources and Programs for People 55+, Behavioral Health Services, and Intellectual and Developmental Disability Services, we understand that building a complete network of care around those we serve is essential. Physicians, social workers, elected officials, government agencies, corporate entities, educational leaders, clergy, and community-based resource organizations are just some of the professional partnerships that we deeply value. These professional partnerships allow us to coordinate services and resources with the providers and organizations who know and serve our clients alongside of us. We recognize the complexities of daily life for everyone and, to that end, endeavor to work closely with others who routinely serve our members, residents, and clients.
