My thanks to the North Side Service Providers Network, and especially Jane Miller of Mercy Behavioral Health, for having the vision, patience, and persistence to build this new resource for the community. Sincerely, Roy Lahet, Executive Director Mercy Behavioral Health August, 2002 ii USING THIS DIRECTORY The creators of the directory intended for this book to be easy and intuitive to use.
