The Missouri Department of Mental Health (DMH) has announced a public comment period regarding proposed rule changes for self-directed services (SDS). These proposed changes include updated regulations on who is prohibited from employment, specifically individuals with legal responsibilities, such as a Power of Attorney or a payee.

Public comments can be submitted until February 25.

Comments may be sent by email to [email protected] or by attending one of three webinars. Registration for the webinars is available on the DMH website.

It is important to note that this public comment period does not pertain to the Governor's proposed budget for SDS. Concerned individuals must contact their state representatives to share feedback about funding.

💚 The Callaway County Public Administrator’s Office Shines Green for Veterans 💚

Throughout the month of November, our office will glow green as part of Operation Green Light for Veterans — a nationwide effort led by the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers.

Lighting our windows green is a small but meaningful way to honor the men and women who served our nation and to raise awareness about the resources available to veterans and their families at every level of government.

Our office is proud to participate because supporting veterans is part of who we are. Most of our staff come from military families, and our office serves as guardian for a number of individuals who are veterans — some from Callaway County and others from across Missouri. We are honored to support them and help ensure they receive the care and respect they deserve.

💡 We invite all Callaway County residents, businesses, and community groups to join us by changing one light to green this month. Together, we can show our gratitude and remind our veterans that they are seen, appreciated, and supported.

📸 Stop by our office to see our green lights and share your own photos using .
