Welcome to Connections 2008
The Mental Health Association of Broward County is proud to present
this 13th edition of "Connections", a guide to mental health and support
services for the behavioral health consumers of our community.
"Connections" is compiled by consumers for consumers. Its intent is
to provide a tool that empowers those with illness to be informed about
resources and opportunities available to them in pursuit of recovery.
For those seeking resources for children with behavioral needs, MHA
also publishes "Connections for Kids".
Please note that resource information in our community changes
rapidly. While our staff and volunteers have made every effort to provide
accurate content, there may be adjustments or corrections that were
not available at the time this book went to print. We will make every
effort to post the most current information in the "Connections" section
of the MHA website at www.mhabroward.org
MHA appreciates the continued support of our project underwriters,
Broward County’s Human Services Department: Substance Abuse and
Health Care Division and Department of Children & Families: Substance
Abuse and Mental Health, District 10. Without their partnership, this
resource would not be possible.
The MISSION of your Mental Health Association is to work for mental
health and for victory over mental illness through education, prevention,
advocacy and empowerment.
"Connections" addresses each component of that agenda. We invite
you to join in our organization and our advocacy.
Mental health is a goal…for everyone.
