Mike Moseley, director of the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services for the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, has been appointed to the Board of Directors for the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD). Moseley was tapped for the national board post at the group’s summer meeting in July.

As state Director, Moseley is responsible for the administrative oversight of the state’s MH/DD/SAS system of care. This includes the management of 12,000 employees and a budget of $2.3 billion, and the provision of services to more than 350,000 individuals served in 15 state facilities as well as through local governmental entities throughout the state. During his 30-year career in state government, Moseley has served as Director of Caswell Center in Kinston, as the Director of the N.C. Special Care Center in Wilson, and as Assistant Director of Cherry Hospital in Goldsboro.

NASMHPD represents the public mental health service delivery system serving 6.1 million people annually in all 50 states, four U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. NASMHPD operates under a cooperative agreement with the National Governors Association and is the only national association to represent state mental health commissioners or directors and their agencies. NASMHPD is also affiliated with the National Association of Consumer/Survivor Mental Health Administrators, an organization that represents the Directors of the Offices of Consumer Affairs within state mental health agencies.
