This is a community mental health board located on the second floor of the Township of Lyons building.
The board members are members of the community, as are the primary agencies the board allocates funds to and participates in planning with: Pillars, Helping Hand Rehabilitation Center, CEP Youth Leadership and Community Support Services.
The commission's meeting schedule is available on its informative Web site. The meetings are open to the public via the Illinois Open Meetings Act and the friendly and helpful staff accommodates walk-ins and callers.
Gilbert Zych, executive director, said he'd like to ask the community to pay closer attention to the commission's agencies. "Read the online paper, be involved, know your community," Zych said. "We have met the enemy and it is us," he added.
