ABOUT US
The Adult Mental Health LAC reviews, evaluates, and makes recommendations regarding the local mental health system. Our mission is to promote mental health, wellness, and recovery using a broad range of knowledge within our communities. Individuals with a lived experience, family members, local service providers, and those who are concerned about public policy are encouraged to participate in the LAC.
PARTNERS

The counties include Kittson, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau counties. This partnership of social service directors has combined their separate Local Advisory Councils into one Mental Health Advisory Council.
