- Skill-building in emotional management and daily tasks
- Crisis assistance and intervention planning
- Medication education and adherence support
- Community integration and social skill development
- Housing stability and independent living support
- Employment readiness and vocational support
- Fostering connections and shared growth
Who Qualifies for ARMHS?
To be eligible for ARMHS in Minnesota, you must be 18 years or older, have a diagnosed mental health condition, and be enrolled in Medical Assistance (MA).
