|---|---|---|
The mission of the Somerset County Core Service Agency is to continually improve the provision of mental health services through effective collaboration with consumers, family members, providers, and community leaders. We believe our mental health system should assure quality, cost-effective services that meet the needs of our consumers. We strongly believe in empowerment so that individuals, consumers, family members, and all persons can develop to their fullest potential. We believe in partnerships with all stakeholders, which maximize the resources available to us. These partnerships allow for the sharing of information and resources through mutual planning and development of our system. |

CSAs are the local mental health authorities responsible for planning, managing, and monitoring public mental health services at the local level. CSA's exist under the authority of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) and are also agents of the county government which approve their organizational structures. The functions of core service agencies are to plan, develop, and manage a full range of treatment and rehabilitation services for persons with serious mental illness in their jurisdiction as stipulated by the Health General Article, 10.10.1201.10.1203, Annotated Code of Maryland. The CSA must be governmental or not-for-profit in nature. The CSA must be able to link with other human services agencies to promote comprehensive service for individuals in MHA's priority population who have multiple human needs. |
