Adult Mental Health

Minnesota’s publicly provided mental health system, as reflected in the Minnesota Comprehensive Mental Health Acts, is a comprehensive Department of Human Services (DHS) supervised and county-administered system providing a range of services for eligible persons. Counties act as the local mental health authority. A wide ‘menu’ of services is provided by state, county, and private providers.

Douglas County Social Services Adult Mental Health (Targeted) Case Management is a voluntary service provided to a qualified person 18 years of age or older who is in need of assistance in a variety of areas such as managing mental health symptoms, mental health resources, employment, housing, social connections, family relations, and other co-occurring conditions. To qualify for Mental Health Case Management, a person must have a ‘serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI)’ (see definitions below) documented by a current diagnostic assessment done by a mental health professional OR be willing to have a diagnostic assessment after your intake. There are related services for qualifying individuals who have a mental health diagnosis but do not meet the eligibility for SPMI.

A Mental Health Case Manager can help you design and reach your mental health recovery goals, make necessary referrals, monitor your progress, and coordinate the various services to link you with what you need based on your goals.

  Douglas County Social Services – 320-762-2302
