The Havre/Hill County Mental Health Local Advisory Council is a local advocacy group working towards meeting the mental health needs of Hill County. Any interested community members are welcome to attend the meetings. Voting membership is defined in our Bylaws and must include 51% consumer or family members of consumers. We partner with other local agencies to work as a team and offer referral services for those looking for mental health services.
The purpose of the LAC is to assist in the improvement of behavioral health services in Hill County and to review and make recommendations about behavioral health services as well as provide input and recommendations to Behavioral Health Advisory Council (BHAC) and the Central Service Area Authority (CSAA).
