Mission & Focus Areas
AOCMHP’s mission is to strengthen local systems of care through partnerships with local mental health authorities, community stakeholders, and state departments, supporting equitable, effective, and humane responses for people with mental illness, substance use disorders, and intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their families.
Its website describes work in mental health promotion, suicide prevention, and advanced skills training. Its grantmaking has included Zero Suicide mini-grants and Rural Older Adult Mini-Grants (ROAM).

The program lists eligible applicants such as counties, municipalities, nonprofits, community-based organizations, and tribal elder programs; grassroots organizations may apply with a fiscal sponsor.
Grantees’ own stated missions illustrate the range of organizations supported. Education Development Center describes its mission as advancing people’s opportunities to learn, work, and be well. Samaritan Health Services describes itself as the parent company of a regional network of tax-exempt hospitals, physicians, and affiliated organizations serving communities in Oregon. The School Foundation says it prepares students for success through educational and extracurricular opportunities. Lake County Senior Citizens Association says it provides services, energy assistance, and meals to local seniors and other low-income people in need.
