The Mental Health Association's programming continues to revolve around the three broad areas of advocacy, education and support for individuals and families affected by a mental illness. Since its founding in 1962, the Mental Health Association has advocated for the needs of adults and children with psychiatric and emotional difficulties.
This priority has guided our mission for almost five decades and is a constant reminder as we remain focused on educating the community-at-large and assisting individuals and families to receive effective and appropriate services and supports and to provide help, healing and hope. The Mental Health Association in Cleveland County will promote mental health in our community through education, advocacy, and support.
