Gov. Reeves has officially proclaimed April as Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month in Mississippi! As the proclamation says, this month is a time to educate the public, promote acceptance, and encourage meaningful action. All Mississippians are urged to learn more about the unique perspectives of autistic people and families and to recognize the many ways they contribute to our state and nation.

Along with DMH representatives are Mississippi Autism Advisory Council members Lynda Balfour and Rhonda Upton, Deyanna Buckner with Hamilton Davis, and clients Malik Ducksworth and Prentiss Willson. Thanks to everyone who joined us for this proclamation signing, and thanks to Gov. Reeves for this recognition. We look forward to sharing more with you this month about the new Division of Autism that was recently created within DMH!

In 1987, Friends of Mississippi State Hospital, Inc. was created as a volunteer organization whose primary function is to promote awareness of mental health issues and raise funds for projects that enhance the quality of life for individuals served at the hospital throughout the year.

Friends hosted the first Legislative Appreciation event 1988 as a way for employees, volunteers, advocates, and other members of the Friends group to personally express appreciation for the continuing support that our state legislators provide for Mississippi State Hospital and the Department of Mental Health.

We are so thankful for our Friends of MSH organization in hosting our 2026 Legislative Appreciation and Mental Health Day at the Capitol.
