The history of Community Counseling Solutions is long and colorful. In fact, it extends all the way back to the 1970's. It was at that time that the State of Oregon created what they called local mental health authorities. These authorities were actually the counties of Oregon, and the state decided that each county could operate a community mental health program itself, or it could contract with a private not-for-profit mental health agency.
So, Morrow County instituted its own community mental health program called Morrow County Mental Health. In those early days, Morrow County temporarily paired with Wheeler County and at one time Gilliam County, but it wasn't until 1996 that they joined for good. The agency changed its name to Morrow County Behavioral Health to avoid the stigma associated with the term "mental health."
It can be very scary to go to a counselor the first time. It can be hard to face ourselves, to open up to another, and even to just take that first step to address the things that we are struggling with.

Our History
Report
Long and rich, our history dates back to the 1970s when Oregon determined that its counties would be the "local mental health authority."
This meant that each county had the authority to provide its own mental health, addictions, and developmental disability services, or contract these services out.
Morrow County chose to operate its own program, and the agency was known as Morrow County Mental Health.
In 1983 it agreed to provide these services for Gilliam and Wheeler counties.
In 1993 Gilliam County decided to contract with a different provider.
