News and Advocacy

They say that word of mouth is the best advertising and when it comes to advocacy, that statement is very true. This section is where your voice plays an important role in helping those individuals and families of people who struggle with mental illness and addiction issues.

The names and contact information of our local and state elected officials are here. Legislation pertaining to behavioral health is here. Calls to action, when appropriate, are here. We hope you consider this your "go-to" location for all things connected to laws around behavioral health.

A sister to advocacy is what is happening in our environment. The News section not only keeps you abreast of the happenings of the day, but also allows you to look back into the past. Posting here are MHRSB-generated Board press releases, stories from news agencies germane mental illness, drug and alcohol addiction and other issues of the day as well as broadcasts and Webcasts.
