Fulton County Mental Health Mobile Unit will visit the Center for Health & Rehabilitation

Through its visibility in the community, the mobile unit will help confront the stigma surrounding mental illness and substance use disorders.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end, the Fulton County Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities (BHDD) is pleased to announce its new Mental Health Mobile Unit, which will provide education about mental health and strengthen efforts to combat stereotypes surrounding mental illness.

The state-of-the-art vehicle features three private consultation rooms, telehealth services, interior and exterior monitors, a large screen television, restroom, and wheelchair accessibility.

The Mental Health Mobile Unit was made possible by a $3.9 million grant from the US Department of Health & Human Services – Office of Minority Health. Through this funding, the mobile unit will increase access to behavioral health services and educate residents in minority and under-served communities about available services - regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.

Beginning in June 2023, the Mental Health Mobile Unit will visit locations around Fulton County, including community meetings and public facilities such as Fulton County Libraries and Senior Centers.
