Community Mental Health Services Act

The Community Mental Health Services Act is legislation aimed at improving mental health care by providing accessible, comprehensive services within local communities. It emphasizes creating community-based programs for prevention, treatment, and recovery, rather than relying solely on institutional care. The Act promotes collaboration among health providers, supports early intervention, and ensures individuals with mental health challenges receive timely and appropriate support. Its goal is to foster healthier communities by making mental health services more available, integrated, and responsive to the needs of residents.
