Survey: Early Detection Key to Tackling Mental Illness

Early detection is the key to better addressing mental health problems, especially among hard-to-reach populations, according to a survey of more than 2,200 San Luis Obispo County residents. The survey findings will help the county determine how to divvy up $1.3 million in state Mental Health Services Act Prevention and Early Intervention funding.
