MESSAGE FROM STEPHEN

PCMHC is nearing its 4th year! In that time a lot has been learned as how to best serve Placer County residents who live with mental illness as a part of their lives. 

In the months to come we will be reorienting the focus of PCMHC. Currently the site is consistently getting 3,000 visitors a month and we want to provide more resource information, practical steps to successful living, and insights from the lived experiences of others.

Our goal is to empower sufferers and their supports with information and inspiration to have the confidence to retake control of their lives. Future articles will include topics such as "Must Have Treatment Conversations" and "How to Support Your Support".

If you have any suggestions or comments for the site please feel free to e-mail us at columncomment@yahoo.com. Put "PCMHC Comment" in the title of the e-mail.
