The Fulton County Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities is pleased to announce its new Mobile Mental Health Unit.
The state-of-the-art vehicle features three private consultation rooms, telehealth services, interior and exterior monitors, a large screen television, a restroom, and wheelchair accessibility.
The Mobile Mental Health 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.
