Mental Health

Network of Care

The Network of Care Web site connects you to behavioral health and other community services in Clark County.  It's also your link to a library of information on behavioral health, support/advocacy organizations, and state and federal legislation.

Clark County Regional Support Network

Clark County Regional Support Network (CCRSN) coordinates public mental health services. Its governing board is the Board of Clark County Commissioners which has appointed a citizen advisory board that meets regularly and advises the commissioners on matters of policy related to mental health issues.

CCRSN works with community members and sub-contractors to determine key values and move the public mental health system towards positive change. The values shared by providers, the Mental Health Advisory Board, the Quality Review Team, the Regional Support Network, consumers, and advocates reflect the goal of the Washington
State Mental Health Division: to administer a public
mental health system that promotes recovery and safety.
