May is Mental Health Month
For more than 50 years our country has celebrated
May is Mental Health Month to raise awareness
about mental illness. In recognition of this mission,
the Behavioral Health Department hosts an annual
conference for mental health professionals,
consumers, family members and stakeholders
each year to promote mental health.
Who We Are
Through collaboration between the Behavioral Health Department, clients, family members, community-based and other public/private partners, we envision a future when all persons with mental health and substance abuse challenges are able to access effective treatment and supports so that mental illness and addictive disorders may be prevented, detected early and recovery achieved.
