Mental and Behavioral Health

Our mental health is like our physical health. It can affect all that we do, from productivity or absences at work, to performance in school, to relationships with others in our community. We envision a future for those in Hall County where mental health needs are recognized and treated and where knowledge of and access to mental health services are increased. Together, we can change what’s possible.
