In a Crisis, Every
Walton
County Family Deserves a
Place to Turn
Every day, mental illnesses and addictions
affect thousands of families across
Florida
and in
Walton County. All of these families deserve a
place to turn in a crisis. However, affordable treatment of mental illnesses
and addictions is not within every family's reach. COPE Center, Inc. strives to
provide the highest quality of behavioral healthcare services, which are
affordable and accessible to the individuals and families served. COPE
Center has been helping
Walton
County
families in crisis, since 1973.
Sadly,
Florida
has not met its responsibility to
Florida's
families. Our state ranks 47th in funding for mental health care and 35th in
funding for addiction services.
Florida's
families deserve better. The budget crisis at the state level is forcing many
local
Walton
County
agencies to make budget cuts that could have serious consequences for
Walton
County’s
public safety, essential services and quality of life. Public safety is essential to our community
and COPE is committed to providing quality behavioral health care services that
increase public safety and the quality of life here in
Walton
County.
Community-based mental health
and addiction services are a critical part of our statewide health care system.
In the aftermath of the storms that hit
Florida
and the
Gulf
Coast, we know that mental health
services are vital to helping families in their recovery. Now is the time to
better fund mental health and addiction services-not after an emergency has
occurred.
May is Mental Health Month. At this time of the year,
COPE
Center
would like to stress the importance of mental wellness for all and ask each and
every person in
Walton
County to become one of
the 5,000 Friends of Florida Families today.It is free to join.

bring mental health and addictions services within the reach of more Walton County
families. Because, in a crisis, every Florida family deserves
a place to turn.
