North Alabama Mental Health Coalition

In 2015, St. Vincent de Paul’s Voice of the Poor Committee formed the North Alabama Mental Health Coalition (NAMHC) for the purpose of improving the plight of the seriously mentally ill, many of whom are homeless or in jail. NAMHC brought together stakeholders from: 

• Madison County Sheriff’s Department
• City of Huntsville and City of Madison Police Departments
• HEMSI
• Wellstone
• City and County officials, probate judges, and psychiatrists

Over the years, the Coalition has grown to include other mental health agencies, social service agencies and community leaders.
