Mental Health Association says it is seeking Fulton County office space and reports peer-support contract unused
Summary
Representatives of the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties told commissioners they are seeking office space in Fulton County and reported that the contract for Peer Support Services is not being used locally; they provided an informational handout.
Representatives of the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties briefed Fulton County Commissioners on available services and local needs on Jan. 27, saying they are actively seeking office space in Fulton County.
Carol Slemmer, Community Support Program Manager, and Scott Graham, Chief Executive Officer, met with commissioners and provided a handout describing services offered. Graham said that 'nobody was using the contract for Peer Support Services,' indicating a gap between contract availability and local uptake.
The meeting record shows the presentation was informational: commissioners received the handout and no formal county action was recorded regarding office space, contracting or funding for expanded local services. The transcript does not specify timelines for locating office space or next steps for increasing use of peer support services.
The record lists the meeting as part of routine county business; separate follow-up or procurement steps would be needed to secure space or modify contracts.
