Our Services
How Can We Help You?
Get Started
Carroll County Mental Health Advocates (CMHA) is committed to providing support services, resources and education to individuals and families impacted by mental illness and addiction and the Carroll County community. Our organization has eight areas of service:
Mental Health Pre-Trial Diversion Program
This program provides opportunities for individuals who have been charged with a qualifying misdemeanor crime, to participate in a 12-month intensive mental health treatment program in lieu of sentencing.
Early Diversion Program
This program provides opportunities for individuals with serious mental health diagnosis or co-concurring disorder to choose a 6-month intensive mental health treatment program in lieu of arrest/booking for a qualifying misdemeanor.
Peer Support Program
CMHA also hosts support groups and activities for individuals living with mental illness. NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) Carroll County Support Groups meet at the CMHA office weekly.
CMHA Advocate Training
CMHA offers a 25 hour training program for community volunteers to become certified, mental health advocates. Advocates are then paired with CMHA clients to help them on their path to treatment and self-sufficiency.
Community Education and Outreach
CMHA promotes mental health education and community outreach to break the stigma associated with mental illness. This program hosts events throughout the year.
Carroll County Crisis Response Team (CCCRT)
The mobile crisis team will consist of a two-member team of co-responders (a law enforcement officer, who is also a certified paramedic, and a Licensed Professional Counselor) that will respond to psychiatric/mental health crisis calls in an unmarked mobile unit.
Youth Mental Health Task Force
Carroll County Mental Health Advocates and the Child Advocacy Center hosted a Stakeholder Meeting in January 2021 to engage in conversation about the importance of mental wellness among youth in Carroll County.
The Recovery Spot of West Georgia
The Recovery Spot of West Georgia is a safe space for individuals whose lives have been impacted by addiction.
