Mental Health Services Program The Mental Health Services Program (MHS) provides mental health treatment services to Frederick County adults with mild to severe mental illness. MHS pursues the provision of services to those in our community who have traditionally been underserved. Services include psychosocial evaluations and mental health therapy performed by licensed mental health clinicians, as well as medication evaluations and medication management conducted by licensed psychiatric medical professionals. MHS practitioners actively collaborate with other Frederick County service agencies on behalf of clients. Linking clients and their family members to ancillary community services, in addition to their mental health treatment, is critical to their mental health recovery. The Program is proud to have been accredited for three years by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). MHS is supported through fee for service revenue, Frederick County Government, and a grant from the Local Behavioral Health Authority. Strategic Goals
