Question:
Answers:
What state are you in? Contact your local mental health administration. There should be a website, one that possibly has a link to the standards and guidelines for running a group home for person's with mental illness. You will first want to find out about licensing as this will be crucial; as most mental health agencies will not place their clients in unlicensed facilities. Also there is N.A.M.I. the national association for mental illness, they would be able to steer you in the right direction.
