Contact DIRECTOR KEVIN SHRUM and his staff at 220 E Lehman St., Lebanon or call 274-3415.   Over the past two years, MHMR has served an annual total of ,576 consumers in FY 97/98, and 2,181 consumers in FY 98/99.

Crisis Intervention, located at the Good Samaritan Hospital, is contracted to   handle emergency aid.

bulletBeginning with the new budget year, at the request of the Lebanon County Mental Health Volunteer Support Initiative headed by Dr. John Biever, a Compeer mentoring program for deinstitutionalized mentally ill adults will help alleviate the isolation and anxiety faced after being released from a state institution.  Compeer could also save Lebanon County the cost of sending people back to institutions when they fail to make it living on their own.
bulletVolunteers will undergo a four hour training program on how to support patients, befriending them and helping them "feel at home in their community."
bulletStudies show Compeer-paired patients are rehospitalized a third less often than those without similar support.
