May is Mental Health Awareness Month!
Mental Health Mississippi was developed to make that process easier and to serve as a hub of information for all mental health resources available in our state.

Our mission is to provide quality, effective mental health services to the citizens of Hinds County.

Mobile Crisis Response Team 601-955-6381. Mobile Crisis Teams provide guidance and support to adults and children who are experiencing a mental health crisis. The teams work closely with law enforcement to reduce the likelihood that a person experiencing a mental health crisis is unnecessarily placed in a more restrictive environment, like jail, a holding facility, hospital, or inpatient treatment.
