Addressing Hammond’s Mental Health Needs
Serious mental health conditions are a growing concern in Tangipahoa Parish. According to data from 2024, 14.21 per every 100,000 residents were estimated to be at risk for psychosis, compared to the state’s average of 12.3 per 100,000 residents during the same period.
