About Us

Mental Health and Recovery for Licking and Knox Counties is comprised of up to 18 local volunteers from Licking and Knox Counties. These board volunteers are appointed by Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) and our local County Commissioners. These members represent community leaders, professionals in the mental health, alcohol and drug addiction fields, persons receiving services, family members or individuals interested in helping people with issues pertaining to mental health, alcohol and other drug abuse, frequently referred to as Behavioral Health Care. The volunteers’ primary role is to make key decisions relating to purchasing, monitoring and evaluating services that are provided to our citizenry through not-for-profit agencies with which we contract.
