An 18-county region

Our role in Minnesota’s mental health system

As an Adult Mental Health Initiative, SMAMHC carries out three core functions: planning and integrating the regional system, filling gaps that other funding cannot, and piloting new community-based services.

The three core functions of Adult Mental Health Initiatives: 1) Regional System Planner and Integrator, 2) Flexible Funding Mechanism (Gap Filler), 3) Innovation and Service Development Engine.
