Mental Health Association asks Fulton County commissioners for office space; peer-support contract reported unused
Summary
Representatives from the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties told commissioners they are seeking office space in Fulton County and reported that the county contract for Peer Support Services has not been used; they provided a handout describing services.
Representatives of the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties briefed Fulton County commissioners on Jan. 27 and said they are looking for office space in the county and that the existing contract for Peer Support Services has not seen use.
Carol Slemmer, Community Support Program Manager, and Scott Graham, Chief Executive Officer, met with the board to outline services provided in the county and to request assistance identifying local office space. The pair said a contract for Peer Support Services appears to be unused; the association provided a handout describing its programs and services for commissioners' information.
Why it matters: Local office space and active peer-support services affect access to behavioral-health resources in Fulton County. Commissioners accepted the information but did not take further action during the meeting.
The board did not vote on funding or a lease; commissioners received the materials for informational purposes only. Separate agency or staff follow-up would be required to pursue facility arrangements or to reactivate the peer-support contract.
