What can Appanoose County Community Services / South Central Behavioral Health Region do?

Mental Health (MH) and Disability Services (DS) are funded by MH / DS Regions in Iowa. South Central Behavioral Health Region is comprised of Davis, Appanoose, Mahaska, and Wapello Counties. Each county in the state of Iowa has an appointed Coordinator of Disability Services (CDS) or Community Services Director. The Director manages and provides oversight, supervision, and monitoring for all regional mental health service needs including program administration, planning, approval / denial of all regional mental health expenditures following a determination of service needs. The Director acts as the entry point for accessing all regional mental health services for persons with disabilities including intellectual disabilities, mental illness, developmental disabilities, and brain injury. Some directors also work with the court system when mental health and/or substance abuse committals occur. A major duty of each Director is collaboration and coordination with clients, stakeholders, the judicial system, Department of Human Services (DHS), schools, Public Health, Service providers, the AEA, law enforcement, ministerial associations, area businesses, other counties, and communities with the region.
