A project to house adolescent mental health services in a new building on the Martha’s Vineyard Community Services campus has taken another step forward. The commission said the new building will not need regional review.

An Islandwide youth collaborative formed last year to enhance programs for adolescents at risk unveiled plans this week for a new building to house their group.

Major funding will be provided by the Peter & Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation to expand services for adolescents at risk. The Island Wide Youth Collaborative will address substance abuse and mental health problems.

Visits to the guidance office at the high school are up, and guidance counselors at the middle schools say anxiety and depression is affecting kids younger than previously observed.
