                       (FORMERLY MENTAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT)
                             COMPLETES SALE OF FIVE
                    FREESTANDING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FACILITIES

     MCLEAN, VA., - MHM Services, Inc. (AMEX: MHM), completed the sale of 
five of the Company's freestanding behavioral health facilities on May 31, 
1996, to Behavioral Healthcare Corporation of Nashville, Tennessee.  The five 
facilities, located in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Ohio, were sold 
for approximately $10 million, in cash and assumed liabilities.

     Michael S. Pinkert, President and Chief Executive Officer of MHM, noted 
that, "The Company intends to use a significant portion of the proceeds from 
the sale of its freestanding facilities to expand its practice management 
activities.  With the sale of our facilities nearly completed, we can now 
focus on building the Company into a national practice management leader for 
non-physician professionals serving extended care facilities."

     In the last year, MHM began its expansion in the field of practice 
management.  The Company purchased a network of mental health outpatient 
clinics serving over 200 patients with 60 professionals in Boston, and a 
large psychological practice group serving assisted living centers in 
California.  For the past two years, MHM has operated under a contract with 
the State of Georgia to provide mental health and mental retardation 
rehabilitation services to Medicaid-eligible nursing facility residents.

     MHM Services, based in McLean, Virginia provides sub-acute medical 
specialty and behavioral health services via practice management of 
non-physician medical specialties.  The Company serves over 800 extended care 
facilities, nursing homes, assisted living centers, other adult community 
living institutions and schools in 12 states and is a leader in the 
privatization of programs of care to underserved populations and beneficiaries 
of public funds. Services provided include behavioral healthcare, podiatry, 
optometry and dentistry.

     This release includes forward-looking statements based on management's 
current plans and expectations.  Such statements involve risks and 
uncertainties which may cause actual future activities and results of 
operations to be materially different from those suggested in this release, 
including risks associated with industry consolidation and acquisitions, the 
need to manage growth, the possible need to use the net cash proceeds 


                                    99.1-1

from the sale of freestanding facilities for the retirement of certain
