The Christian County Health Department has spent the last year improving, and expanding, their mental health services to area schools. By the start of next school year, the CCHD is hoping to form new relationships with other local schools, to benefit more children in the community. Now that school is almost out however, it’s important to know that the Christian County Health Department still offers their services during the Summer months.

Pauline Williams, Director of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, and Peyton Langen, Mental Health Case Manager with the CCHD, first talk about Mental Health Awareness Month here in May.

The Christian County Health Department already works with Morrisonville schools to bring their services to the classroom. Williams and Langen would love to see that extended to other school districts.

For those that can’t make a therapy session trip to the CCHD office, staff members will meet children and their families, closer to home.

Mental health awareness is growing nationally and Williams believes the same could be said here in Christian County.
