Welcome to NAMI AZ’s new web message board
Welcome everyone to NAMIAZ’s new message board. Here’s how it works.
In Arizona, there are Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs) that manage all the public behavioral health services in certain counties. Find your RBHA or county below and click on it.
You’ll see four selections with some explanation. Click on one, scroll to the bottom of the comments that are there, and make your comment. If you wish, you can make your comment anonymously. You can also comment on other people’s comments and get a discussion going. Go for it. No registration is required.
You’ll notice that there is another selection on the page with the RBHAs. Called “Other Sutff,” this page is for comments that don’t fit under the RBHAs. For example, if your commenting on a bill in the legislature, statewide adovcacy, or a state department, your comment might fit best here.
Our topics are:
- Cenpatico - serving Gila, La Paz, Pinal and Yuma Counties
- Community Partnership of Southern Arizona (CPSA) - serving Cochise, Graham, Greenlee and Santa Cruz Counties
- Magellan - serving Maricopa County
- Northern Arizona Regional Behavorial Health Authority (NARBHA) - serving Apache, Coconino, Mohave, Navajo and Yavapai Counties
- Tribal RBHAs
- Other stuff
