Resources Southwest Iowa MHDS Region

The Southwest Iowa MHDS Region (SWIA MHDS) was formed under Iowa Code Chapter 28E to create a mental health and disability service region in compliance with Iowa Code 331.390. Within this region, SWIA MHDS has created a regional management plan designed to improve health, hope, and successful outcomes for the adults in our region who have mental health disabilities and intellectual/developmental disabilities, including those with multi-occurring substance use issues, health issues, physical disabilities, brain injuries, and other complex human service needs. The Region offers service coordination and SOAR for individuals meeting our criteria.  The Region may fund needed services if you meet our eligibility criteria, such as outpatient, mental health medication (if not on Medicaid), inpatient hospitalization/commitment fees, vocational/day program transportation, Supported Community Living, and vocational services.  The Region also supports a variety of crisis services, including the 24-hour Hope4Iowa crisis line, Crisis Stabilization Residential Service (CSRS), and Mobile Crisis Response services.
