Region 7E Local Advisory Council

What is a Local Advisory Council?
A Local Mental Health Advisory Council (LAC) offers individuals, parents, families, and providers the opportunity to make a real difference in how mental health care is provided in their community. It offers county and state policy makers the wisdom of those who experience mental health concerns first-hand.

There are many benefits to having a LAC:

• LACs empower individuals with a lived experience of mental illness and their families
• Having an active, productive and effective LAC can lead to the improvement of the local mental health system and services for the community
• LACs offer advice on the local mental health system on what is and is not working
• Counties can utilize LACs to advise them on a range of mental health related topics, such as improving their local mental health and social services systems.

The Region 7E Local Advisory Council meets every other month usually following the 7E AMHI board meeting.
