*Helping Individuals and Families Throughout the Lifespan*

The Prevention and Outreach Department of Four County is designed to provide awareness programs and education about specific issues, such as parenting, mood problems, substance abuse, life changes and daily living stress as a primary way for individuals in the surrounding area to identify problems and take action to make significant changes. A particular focus is on increasing public awareness and acceptance of mental illness in hopes of reducing the stigma often associated with those illnesses. Four County actively partners with other community agencies by co-sponsoring information fairs, workshops, and other events which highlight mental health and wellness topics. Support and therapy groups are available for specific issues also. Informational and educational materials are available for distribution within the community. Contact Susan Hill at 331-1748 for more information on what is available.
