The mission of the Mental Health & Recovery for Licking and Knox Counties is to use Recovery and Resiliency Methodology to enhance the quality of life for individuals and families, and to diminish the problems caused by alcoholism, drug addiction and mental illness for the residents of Licking and Knox Counties. The vision of MHR will be accomplished through cost-effective contracting with behavioral health providers who use Resiliency Recovery Methodology, and in cooperation with other local systems and citizens through the provision of quality treatment prevention and education for individuals and their families coping with behavioral health challenges. The Board and its staff must work daily to secure enough federal, state and local resources (grants, match programs, private sector dollars) in order to ensure the delivery of quality based behavioral health care services. MHR makes certain that these services are also made accessible and affordable for all residents of Licking and Knox Counties.
