Mental Health & Disability Services

Overview

CICS (Central Iowa Community Services) was formed under Iowa Code Chapter 28E to create a mental health and disability service region in compliance with Iowa Code. Within this region, CICS created a regional management plan designed to improve health, hope, and successful outcomes for the adults in our region who have mental health disabilities, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and brain injuries, including those with multi-occurring issues and other complex human service needs, and for children who have a diagnosis of serious emotional disturbance as defined in Iowa Code.
