South Lane Mental Health is a nonprofit organization delivering community-based mental health services to residents of southern Lane County, Oregon. Founded in 1988, it supports people affected by mental illness and emotional problems as they understand their condition and pursue recovery and independent, productive lives in the community. The organization is based in Cottage Grove and operates a 9,000-square-foot Birch Avenue facility, a result of partnership activity that broadened programs and services. It functions within the mental health care sector as a mid-sized nonprofit serving the region. In January 2017, Damien Sands was named executive director, with the appointment effective January 2. Earlier reporting notes that in 2008 a partnership with the City of Cottage Grove, supported by a Community Development Block Grant, enabled the purchase and renovation of the Birch Avenue offices and the expansion of programs and services.
