The OCHN leads a provider service network that assists approximately 23,000 Oakland County citizens at more than 300 service sites across the county.

The BOC is seeking applications to fill two general public seats, one primary consumer seat (someone receiving mental health services) and one secondary consumer seat (a family member of someone receiving mental health services). To qualify, applicants must be residents of Oakland County. Those chosen for an OCHN Board position will receive $90 per diem and county allowance of mileage reimbursement. Members will attend all relevant meetings.
