McHenry County Mental Health Board Wants to Hear About Mental Health Needs in The County

McHenry County residents have an opportunity to tell the McHenry County Mental Health Board about the needs of individuals who have mental illness, developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injury, or substance abuse issues.

The annual Public Hearing on Behavioral Health Issues is slated for 7:00 p.m. tonight at McHenry County College. The specific location is Conference Room B of the Conference Center. The College is located at 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

This is an annual planning tool for the Mental Health Board and will also be used this year for guidance for the group's three year plan. This agency administers funds to community partners in an effort to prevent and treat various mental health issues.

All agency representatives and community members are invited to speak to the board during the hearing, but they are required to sign in beforehand. Registration begins at 6:15 p.m. with the hearing to begin at 7:00 p.m. Child care is also available.
