McHenry County Mental Health Board Update
The McHenry County Mental Health Board is pleased to share a number of new and exciting developments. On February 21 and 22 the Board of Directors met and held a Strategic Planning Session. Aside from the review of internal strengths/weaknesses, there was also the discussion of external opportunities and threats. Out of these discussions the board determined at least four short-term goals: Board Direction, Executive Director search, allocation of funds specific for Developmental Disability and Substance Abuse, and use of the Mental Health Board Building. For the long-term, the board is looking for options to the psychiatric shortage in McHenry County, review of current application/contract expectations and methods of allocations, and a more integral understanding of the Affordable Care Act and Waiver 1115 and how that will affect our agencies and the Mental Health Board moving forward.
