About Tri-County Mental Health Services

This agency is justifiably proud of its mission and guiding principles. Over the years, these have remained the benchmark by which all decisions have been judged. As we continue to mature as an agency, our approach is now guided by clinical principles of recovery, evidence-based treatment, and an understanding of the impact of trauma and violence on the lives of the people who choose our services. However, important as these developments are, their fit within our mission is crucial. We believe that they not only fit but strengthen the scope of our mission.
