Again, I hope that more TOTVers will get involved with this. Gary Corsair a reporter for the Villages Daily Sun had done an article about my attempts to get this link to the Florida Victim Services Directory back in May of 2007. Lake County Library System did have a link for the Florida Victim Services Directory at that time but it disappeared sometime after that. I had been working pro bono and actually at my expense to get links to the Florida Victim Services Directory from all kinds of FL libraries since 2000.
This is what Lake County Library System has now. Area Resources - Lake County Florida Government

If I were a survivor/victim of crime or someone looking for Lake County resources for the mentally ill, I would have a hard time using this. I would probably just use some kind of search engine like Google and hope for the best.

I looked at the some of the Lake County city websites as well as the Lake County Sheriff's website and they do not have a link to the Florida Victim Services Directory nor one that would be quickly discernible as helping those with some kind of mental illness. http://www.cityofclermontfl.com/index.asp
