The Alabama Department of Mental Health launched a redesigned website Tuesday, featuring an improved design and navigation from any device. 

The website offers quick and easy access to essential information and features, increasing understanding of the department’s programs and services, said Commissioner Lynn Beshear.

The site can be found at mh.alabama.gov.

“We are excited about our new website and the robust information it provides for the people we serve, for providers, ADMH partners and the public about services, employment within our department, mental health resources and tools,” said Beshear said. “We believe the new site will allow our visitors to have an enlightening experience and will help everyone to better understand the importance of mental health.”

The website was developed through a collaborative, data-driven process involving mental health stakeholders across the state, user testing and analytics research that identified top user requests and the most important information to highlight. The website prioritizes information in high demand by Alabamians, found in the newly designed navigation menus and makes it easier to find key services and programs. MH.Alabama.gov launches with specially designed pages to locate providers of services for mental health, substance abuse and developmental disabilities; resources for individuals and families; and a provider portal.
