Review
Supervisor Rice read the following:
The Health and Human Services - Mental Health and Substance Use Services Adult Case Management Team provides supportive services to Marin residents experiencing serious mental health conditions that pose challenges to successful living in the community. Team members work diligently and with compassion in helping people avoid hospitalization and also in helping them successfully transition out of hospitals and other intensive residential treatment programs. They help find housing, lend support in maintaining housing, assist with transportation needs, serve as advocates and provide a safety net of mental health services. They are wonderful County staff that work from the heart and put their hearts into their work. They have hope that those they serve will live fulfilling lives and help clients maintain hope in the face of a variety of life challenges. We celebrate the excellent work of this team, but the team members celebrate the hard work and successes of the clients they serve. They are the team that brought you the “Be Happy” video and the message that “Recovery is Real”... they see it all the time!
