We at the Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority (SCCMHA) have a deep-seated belief in the potential of every person we meet. ­These same persons have a right to dream and imagine a life of their choosing and we are here to support those dreams and help them with opportunities to achieve.­ At SCCMHA we build upon these three tenants of our vision statement with a rich and diverse set of services, a talented and dedicated group of staff and contract agencies and our process of delivering support and treatment is informed by consumers themselves that work throughout the network and join us on numerous committees to guide and direct the work that we do and the way we do it. We however do not carry out our work alone.­ SCCMHA has many partnerships both large and small, both formal and informal.­ Our partners work with us to meet the needs of those it is our honor to serve and work with in the community of Saginaw and in our region.­ These partnerships include schools, courts, law enforcement and other first responders, child welfare and protection agencies, housing and shelter providers, employers, colleges and universities, hospitals, primary and specialty health care providers, the faith community, community agencies and a host of other volunteers.
