Mission Statement

South Shore Mental Health is committed to the goal of promoting the welfare and dignity of all persons who are consumers of our services. Services and supports are designed to provide meaningful assistance to the individual in acquiring and maintaining those physical, mental, and social skills which enable the individual to function most effectively with the demands of his or her own person or environment. Respect for the dignity, rights and uniqueness of the individual in the least restrictive and most appropriate community setting is highly valued.

South Shore Mental Health advocates for the individuals we serve, promoting education and awareness of issues of mental health, mental retardation, and developmental disabilities in the community. South Shore Mental Health supports creative initiatives and collaboration with public and private organizations to effectively address the changes in client needs, population trends, and funding patterns.
