The department serves people living with mental health challenges, substance use disorders, intellectual and developmental disabilities, or any combination of these.

OUR VISION and MISSION

Our team is dedicated and compassionate with a commitment to transparency and accountability, but we can only do this work in partnership with providers, civic officials, and citizens. Together, we can continue to make recovery and independence real!
