History: On behalf of CMHA’s Board of Directors, we want to thank all of the CMHA members, including the CMHs and provider organizations and their boards, staff, and the consumers and families they serve, for their contributions and advocacy on behalf of the state’s publicly funded mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance use disorder services system. During this period of transformative changes, such contributions and advocacy will continue to be the critical element of our work to ensure that these changes improve the quality of life and the outcomes for the individuals and families served by the public system of care.
