Mental Health Awareness Month - Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. During May, the NLCRPD team joins the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. Each year we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness and their families.

The NLCRPD publishes all agency directives related to the NLCRPD response to persons in crisis on the agency webpage. Readers' are encouraged to review the applicable directives to understand the care and commitment of the NLCRPD to providing an acceptable standard of care in alignment with best practices.
