The main concern officials have at this point in the COVID-19 pandemic is for mental health. Social distancing has had a domino effect in the lives of many as they are cut off from family, friends, and their support in the community.
Deb Johnson, Executive Director of St. Clair County Community Mental Health encourages parents to talk openly with their children. A free, CMH Support Line is now available Monday through Friday from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm. Anyone age 14 and older can connect with a CMH licensed mental health professional by:
