According to Sharon Mills, Administrator for the 708 Board in DeWitt County, the board is looking for someone who would advocate for community members with mental illness, those who struggle with substance abuse, and those with disabilities. You do not need to have a background in mental health.

 

 

Mills adds that the time invested by board members is up to them and highlights one of their bigger projects, the Children's Mental Health Forum, which several local organizations are involved in.

 

 

The board meets monthly at the Warner Public Library.
