Reception Honors Career Of CMH Director Mac MillerReception Honors Career Of CMH Director Mac Miller

12/18/12 – Dozens of people attended a retirement party in Genoa Township last night to honor the man who has led Livingston County Community Mental Health for more than 25 years. CMH Director Mac Miller is retiring from his position this week. He first came to Community Mental Health as a therapist in 1977, when the department only had about 20 employees. He was later promoted to program director, and in 1986 he took over the department as executive director. He tells WHMI that some of the achievements he is most proud of from his time in office include bringing mental health services in-house, developing programs to keep children in their homes rather than out-of-home care, and the local mental health court which allows qualifying offenders to seek mental health treatment along with or in lieu of jail time. Miller says the reception last night was humbling, and he considers himself to be a lucky man who happened to be in the right place at the right time to help Community Mental Health grow. (TD)
