Edwin C. LeGrand, III
Executive Director

As an agency and a state, I believe we all share one common thread - the hope for a better tomorrow and a brighter future. DMH is taking steps to ensure we plan for the road ahead.

The 2010 Legislative Session has begun and as many of you know there are several bills which relate to mental health services in Mississippi. DMH has developed a chart describing the bills which could have an impact on mental health services. Click here to view the list of bills.

In 2009, the Board of Mental Health developed a Strategic Plan which provides a framework, with specific activities, timelines and responsible parties, to shift the Department's priorities to a community-based service delivery system.

Ibelieve the Strategic Plan is an essential tool in DMH's transformation to a community-based, recovery and resiliency model of care. Click here to view the Strategic Plan.

DMH is dedicated to providing the citizens of Mississippi with services and supports which allow them to receive DMH services in the least restrictive environment. We will continue to build on the strengths of individuals and their families, while meeting their needs for special services and supports.
