Juneau Alliance For Mental Health, Inc
Grant Request and History of CBJ Support for JAMHI Programs The Juneau Alliance for Mental Health, Inc. ( JAMHI ), is a private, not for profit corporation. Since 1985 JAMHI has provided services and housing to seriously mentally ill adults in Juneau. In 2000 the City and Borough of Juneau asked JAMHI to take over its responsibilities as the Community Mental Health Center, including provision of general mental health and emergency services. Since that time, the Assembly has made an annual grant award to JAMHI to partially defray the cost of providing these services. JAMHI requests that CBJ continue its support at the current grant level of $350,000.
Mission Statement Juneau Alliance for Mental Health, Inc. is dedicated to the design and provision of efficient, effective, person-centered behavioral healthcare solutions and assisting individuals in maximizing recovery from mental health and co-occurring disorders.
