To ensure that unauthorized firearms do not enter The Department of Mental Health (DMH) campuses and firearms maintained on DMH campuses are secured. The Mississippi Department of Mental Health operates statewide programs for adults and children with mental illness or emotional disturbance, alcohol/drug problems, intellectual or developmental disabilities, and individuals in need of nursing home care. The programs are owned by the State of Mississippi and under the control of the State Board of Mental Health and DMH.
