The mission of Mental Health Services works to promote opportunities for adults with mental illness to maximize their ability to: seek and obtain treatment; live; work; socialize; and learn in the least restrictive environment with the appropriate therapeutic support.
Mental Health Services operates under the following core principles:
•
•
|
Services are to be delivered by means of a comprehensive system of care, which emphasizes the most appropriate, least restrictive settings to promote the highest level of functioning;
There must be continuity of care and coordination of services within the state and between the public and private sectors;
|
•
• |
The range of services within the system of care must respond to the needs of the individual consumers and to the special populations served;
Mental Health Services must assure appropriate, high quality care for the State's most severely disabled citizens in State psychiatric hospitals and for the less disabled citizens in community programs. |
