OUR MENTAL HEALTHCARE STRATEGY

Our Community Needs Assessment highlighted a continued rise in demand for mental health services, including counseling, psychiatric care, prescription management, and crisis response. While HRDC is not a mental healthcare provider, our mental health strategy focuses on supporting community partners already doing this work and advocating for policy changes needed to expand what is currently available.
