To Make a Referral in Whitman County?
Call Palouse River Counseling (509-334-1133) if you think you may be eligible for WISe or if you have a referral and a WISe Team member will return your call. An intake evaluation will be scheduled and a Child Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) will be completed.
