Welcome
In 1995, the Minnesota legislature passed legislation authorizing pilot projects that would result in systemic
change in the delivery of mental health services for adults with serious and persistent mental illness. The Region IV
South Mental Health Initiative is one of the 15 projects statewide that are involved in redesigning and implementing
improved systems for delivering mental health services in communities.

Upcoming Events
More than ninety people gathered at the Broadway Ballroom Event Center in Alexandria on October 12, 2012 to discuss the current and future condition of mental health services in Minnesota, and in the five-county region. Included in the discussion was a panel of eleven regional Minnesota State legislators and legislative candidates. The panel spent several hours discussing the issues with attendees and listening to the personal stories of people whose lives have been affected, in some way, by mental illness.
