Welcome to Marblehead Mental Health Task Force

The Marblehead Mental Health Task Force, under the direction of the Marblehead Board of Health, provides leadership and a community-wide focus by engaging providers, residents of all ages, and the greater Marblehead community in mental health and wellness initiatives.  This program seeks to complement and promote mental health and wellness services already in place in Marblehead, and to coordinate with current and future services by:

• Staying current on community mental health needs and best practice research to meet the needs of our diverse community;
• Informing residents about mental health and wellness challenges, as well as approaches to improve awareness;
• Developing prevention services and activities to promote mental health and wellness;
• Coordinating the availability and delivery of mental health and wellness intervention and post-intervention services and resources to residents; and
• Partnering and being inclusive with local and regional mental health providers and other organizations.
• Massachusetts Behavioral Health Help Line
