Annual MHA Dinner May 5,
(Cont'd from page l)
had its beginning several years
ago under the guidance and
leadership of Mrs. LueQa Ho
neycutt, who really gave birth
to the present Association,
which was chartered three years
ago with Rev. Don Elly as its
president. The main function
Os the Association is to work
with the emotionally disturb -
ed in the county and to carry
on a follow-up program with
persons released from Brough
ton or other mental institute as.
In addition it encourages those
needing psychiatric care to
visit the Mental Health Clinic
which is held at th> Health
Department twice monthly
once with a qualified psychia
trist and twice monthly with
a social psychiatric worker.
The psychiatrist exafnines the
patient and prescribes the pro
per drugs, and in some instan
ces suggests hospitalization.
The social worker counsels
with patients and family mem
bers. Drug prescriptions are
taken to local pharmacies
where they are filled at whole
sale cost, plus prescription
charge, thereby saving the pa
tient a considerable amount
of money.
