Mental Health Association

Their Mission is to promote mental health, prevent mental disorders & eliminate discrimination against people with mental disorders. They accomplish these goals through community advocacy, education, and service. In light of the current divesture and mental health reform, there is a serious shortage of available resources that can adequately meet the needs of consumers that have a severe and persistent mental illness.

These individuals face insurmountable challenges in gaining access to appropriate services that can not only meet their mental health needs, but their basic needs as well. In response to these needs, the MHA/NC has developed plans and procedures to create Assertive Community Treatment Teams (ACTT) across the State.
