County Approves MOU to Amplify Mental Health At Partners

On Aug. 22, Mesa County approved a $121,070  memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Mesa County Partners for a mental health and collaboration efforts grant.

This collaboration is poised to amplify the region's ability to tackle mental health challenges, particularly among the most vulnerable segments of Mesa County's population. The cooperative efforts will contribute to a heightened capacity for proactively addressing mental health concerns.

In addition to prioritizing mental health, this partnership aims to reduce the use of incarceration for dealing with mental health issues. As a result, it's expected that there will be fewer repeat offenses and less overall criminal behavior.
