Turning mental health awareness into action

May is National Mental Health Month and Benton County is celebrating with an announcement about the new Benton County Crisis Center, set to open this summer.
The Benton County Crisis Center will be a voluntary, walk-in, mental health treatment center for people experiencing mental health crises. The center will offer a safe and supportive space for people who need a break from stressors along with referrals and support for ongoing behavioral health services.
The facility is planned to open this June with a phased approach. Benton County is planning to host an upcoming open house once the crisis center is ready to be opened to the public.
