Mission Statement of Mental Health Department of Montgomery County
To promote wellness and recovery by creating an environment where all people are empowered to have freedom to make choices about their lives, to pursue their personal goals, and to do so with dignity, and the respect of others.
A public hearing is held annually in the spring of each year.
What We Do
In order to ensure that an array of community services are available and accessible to Montgomery County residents, the County Office of Mental Health plans, funds, administers, and monitors services that are provided by private community agencies licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
This Mental Health Service System is designed to offer adults with severe and persistent psychiatric disabilities and children with social, emotional, and behavioral disorders an individualized, comprehensive network of support.
A Montgomery County resident may be funded for services in whole or in part by the County. A liability is determined based upon the type of service requested. Private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid also reimburse for some services.
