Welcome to

Connections 2009

The Mental Health Association of Broward County is proud to present this 14th

edition of “Connections,” a guide to behavioral health and support services

for the consumers of our community.

“Connections” is compiled by consumers for consumers. Its intent is to

provide a tool that empowers those with illness to be informed about resources

and opportunities available to them in pursuit of recovery. For those seeking

resources for children with behavioral needs, MHA also publishes “Connections

for Kids”.

Please note that resource information in our community changes rapidly.

While our staff and volunteers have made every effort to provide accurate

content, there may be adjustments or corrections that were not available at the

time this book went to print. We will make every effort to post the most current

information in the “Connections” section of the MHA website at:

www.mhabroward.org.

MHA appreciates the continued support of our project underwriters, Broward

County’s Human Services Department: Substance Abuse and Health Care

Services Division, and Department of Children & Families: Substance Abuse

and Mental Health, Circuit 17. Without their partnership, this resource would

not be possible.

The MISSION of your Mental Health Association is to work for mental health

and victory over mental illness through education, prevention, advocacy, and

empowerment.

“Connections” addresses each component of that agenda. We invite you to

join in our organization and our advocacy.

Mental health

is a goal for everyone.
