The Region 2 Adult Mental Health Initiative (AMHI) is one of 19 similar initiatives throughout the state of Minnesota that were established by the MN Department of Human Services in 1996 with the goal of increasing community integration and supports for adults with mental illness. AMHIs are regional collaborations that oversee adult mental health services and funding in their area. Each AMHI is a unique partnership of individuals with lived experience, counties, tribes, and providers working together to positively impact mental health service delivery in their region. Additional background information about regional AMHIs as well as examples of the types of programs and services funded by these initiatives can be found here.

Region 2 AMHI is comprised of Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, and Lake of the Woods counties and is governed by the Health and Human Services directors for these counties. Together with community members with lived experience, tribal nations, and local service providers we make decisions and conduct activities to raise awareness of mental health challenges and opportunities in our community.
