Occasionally we get questions about mental health services in our region or county. These can be somewhat difficult to track based on varying definitions of what constitutes mental illness and what types of services are being rendered. The NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH) offers a great data engine to track these mental health issues and services by region as well as county
using their data dashboard. The OMH dashboard offers you a number of options in terms of what you may be seeking to see. As you can see in the screen shot below, you can select from as many as eleven (11) different tabs.

In addition, the upper right of the page also offers you a chance to click and explore other data through their
County Profiles page.
Among the data tabs on the dashboard are inpatient profile maps. Below are the maps for Herkimer and Oneida Counties.
