Mental Health Services Plan Hearing Thursday

Those seeking information on Potter County’s long-range plan for providing mental health services, and those who would like to provide input on county-based programs, are encouraged to attend a public hearing scheduled for 10 am Thursday, April 12, at Potter County Human Services in Roulette. Comments are also welcome in writing or by telephone.

Counties are required to provide certain services for those with mental health issues under a cost-sharing system established by the state. County plans must be regularly updated to address changes in regulations and trends, demographic shifts, funding cuts or additions and other factors. More information on Thursday’s hearing or the county’s plan is available from Melissa Gee, director of mental health programs, at 1-800-800-2560, 814-544-7315, or mgee@pottercountyhumanscs.org.
