Mental health matters
The Department of Human Services (DHS) is dedicated to supporting adults, children and youth with a mental illness in their personal journey toward recovery, as well as preventing mental illness whenever possible.
People with mental illness have the same rights as anyone. The department is committed to making sure individual choice is respected and that people with mental illness are able to live, learn, work and enjoy life in their community to the best of their ability.
The department oversees a number of publicly funded programs offering community-based mental health services, creating a continuum of services designed to meet the needs of individuals.
