Fairfield County ADAMH Board

“Unfortunately the 2024 Tax Levy passed. I don't know why they need the money anyway. The mental health industry is the biggest modern day scam to be allowed to exist. Too bad the "yes" voters have never been abused by this system. It should be illegal. People don't need a therapist. They need their community of like minded peers. Too bad it took me decades to understand this. Congratulations on your big payday!”

“During the pandemic, I had a hard time finding mental health resources after both my psychiatrist and counselor lost their jobs. I tried to get through multiple places in town with no call back. So I thought emailing the ADAMH board when my depression became severe would help because I was getting absolutely no help elsewhere. After the first email, I waited over a week and sent another email. I was desperate as my depression was impacting my every day life. I left my telephone number in each email as well just hoping I'd hear from them. My depression was spiraling and it was completely stable before I lost both of my psychiatrist and counselor. They never contacted me in any way. I guess the whole caring about mental health only really matters on paper for their funding. Thanks ADAMH for letting another person slip through the cracks in the mental health system.”

“I just looked at the website and am very dismayed at what I am seeing on the reviews. My (15) year old grandson needs some counseling due thoughts of suicide, for some reason I thought looking into ADAMH would be an answer. Maybe someone needs to take a good unbiased look into their services.”

“Do not vote for this levy. Look to see how much money ADAMH receives vs how much actually goes to victims. See how many success stories. Account for when suicides occur. All people should have access to 211. I did not during my divorce because my then husband of 22 years made over $80000.”
