Our vision is that the Northwest Louisiana Human Services District exists so that individuals with mental health, addictive disorders, and developmental disabilities residing in the parishes of Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Claiborne, DeSoto, Natchitoches, Red River, Sabine, and Webster are empowered, and self-determination is valued such that individuals live a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life. The Northwest Louisiana Human Services Districts mission is to increase public awareness of and to provide access for individuals with behavioral health and developmental disabilities to integrated community-based services while promoting wellness, recovery, and independence through education and the choice of a broad range of programmatic and community resources.
