What kinds of services do county mental health departments provide?
A wide variety of services are available, including counseling, psychiatric services, care management and medication. Many counties can help you find opportunities for paid or volunteer employment, housing, education, and peer support. The mental health client and the mental health provider work in partnership to decide the appropriate services for the client. County staff will let you know about providers who speak your language and come from your culture. They will give you information about services for children/adolescents and their families, adults, older adults, and others. For the specific services available through your county mental health department, call your county’s 24 Hour Multilingual Crisis Intervention and Assessment number.
