Early in 1967, the Alabama Legislature passed a bill, which was signed, into law known as Act 310. This landmark legislation established for the first time Regional Mental Health Boards or Authorities to govern the planning and operation of all mental health programs; including, but not limited to, mental illness, developmentally disabled, substance abuse and epilepsy.

These authorities, better known as 310 Boards, were designed to be comprehensive planning bodies charged with the responsibility to insure that quality programs were developed to meet existing needs in designated "catchment areas". The area for which this Board serves is Calhoun and Cleburne Counties.

Very poor staffing... immature and they treat people like animals up there and it’s sad that you go up there for help and they don’t address the real issues

Don't apply at the group home on Leighton avenue. They are all black and very racist, and will not hire nothing but black people.

Don’t even try to ask for help !! I’ve been hung up on before even saying hello several times it’s like they pick up the phone to stop it from ringing and hang it up . I’ve been trying for almost 2 years to get help with my intellectual disabled foster daughter in the state of Alabama. They are very negative when you do talk to them telling you it’s nearly impossible for us to move to Alabama where my husband was relocated from another state. Wow ..... no one is helpful or even cares . I agree with other reviews this place is a joke !!!!

I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for real help. It is the absolute worst place I or my family members have ever been to. In this we all agree. Their idea of counseling is coloring pages from a second grade coloring book....smh
