ARMHS is a Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) program designed to support adults with serious mental illness in developing and maintaining the skills they need to live independently and participate meaningfully in their communities. At Bright and Associates, our ARMHS team brings compassionate, practical support directly to the individuals who need it most.

What ARMHS Includes

ARMHS is a community-based service, meaning it is often provided in the client’s home, community, or other natural settings rather than in a clinical office. Services are highly individualized and may include:

  • Mental illness self-management and coping skills
  • Medication education and self-management support
  • Daily living skills training — cooking, budgeting, household management
  • Social skills and community integration support
  • Employment-related skills and coordination with vocational services
  • Crisis prevention planning
  • Coordination with housing, benefits, and other community resources

Who Qualifies for ARMHS?

ARMHS is available to adults (age 18 and older) who have a qualifying mental health diagnosis and are enrolled in Minnesota Medicaid (Medical Assistance). A diagnostic assessment must be completed by a licensed mental health professional to establish eligibility. Our team can assist with this process.
