Region 4 Mental Health

Region 4 Mental Health is a state-level public behavioral health authority located in Booneville, Mississippi, serving five rural counties in North Mississippi. Registered in SAM.gov since February 2019, the organization operates as a U.S. State Government entity with extensive experience providing mental health and substance abuse treatment services. With over 50 years of proven expertise in serving diverse populations, Region 4 Mental Health focuses on delivering comprehensive, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive behavioral health interventions across multiple demographic groups, including children, youth, adults, veterans, and individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), serious emotional disturbance (SED), and substance use disorders (SUD).

Through multiple federal grant awards from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Region 4 Mental Health has implemented several critical behavioral health programs, including the Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Program, the Nfusion IV System of Care, a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Project, a Drug Court Expansion Program, and a Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) Grant Program. These grants, ranging from $3 million to support specific initiatives, focus on expanding access to evidence-based mental health services, reducing psychiatric hospitalizations, improving social outcomes, and providing integrated treatment for individuals with complex behavioral health needs. The organization collaborates with local court systems, healthcare providers, and community organizations to deliver comprehensive services that include mobile crisis response, community-based treatment teams, supportive housing and employment linkages, peer support, and targeted interventions for underserved populations, with a particular emphasis on racial, ethnic, and LGBTQIA+ communities.
