Legacy Mental Health provides mental telehealth services to all of Michigan.
The Community Mental Health Board of Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Counties (CMHB) was formed in 1964, initially as a federally funded community mental health center, serving Lansing. The organization moved towards its current legal structure, when the Community Mental Health Board of Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Counties was created, under the authority of Public Act 54 and the Urban Cooperation Act. PA 54 was superseded in 1974 when the Michigan legislature enacted Public Act 258, the new Michigan Mental Health Code. This state legislation transferred greater levels of responsibility for mental health services from state to local government. The Mental Health Code, the law which governs all state and local mental health programs in Michigan, was most recently revised in late 1995 (and is continually revised) and has moved even more responsibility from the state to the local level.
The mission of JIMHO is to provide advocacy and assistance to those suffering from a mental illness through the peer-support that JIMHO provides. This is through working with people to improve their lives after suffering serious mental health issues. These improvements are in the areas of accessing necessary income/assistance, improving job skills, locating permanent housing, providing critical peer support, and building relationships with others.
