Ensuring mental health services are available and accessible to all Macon County residents

The Macon County Mental Health Board is a unit of local government operating under the provisions of H.B. 708, Illinois Revised statutes, also known as the Community Mental Health Act.

​The Macon County Mental Health Board was created by a referendum approved by the voters of Macon County in 1965. Through the passage of this referendum, a property tax levy was established to support the Mental Health Board’s mission to assure that a comprehensive and coordinated system of effective and efficient public mental health services is available and accessible to all of the citizens of Macon County in need of such services. The Community Mental Health Act defines mental health services as those services related to mental illness/mental health, services related to developmental disabilities, and services related to substance use.
​
The Mental Health Board engages in planning activities designed to better determine the mental health service needs within Macon County. The Board oversees the provision of disaster mental health services and critical incident stress management for emergency service providers.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

Mental health is just as important as physical health—and it deserves to be talked about, supported, and prioritized every day.

You are not alone. Whether you’re facing challenges or supporting someone who is, your story matters.

Let’s work together to break the stigma, encourage open conversations, and remind one another that help and hope are always within reach.
