Mental Health Association in Delaware
The Mental Health Association in Delaware promotes improved mental well being for all individuals and families in Delaware through education, support, and advocacy. The Mental Health Association in Delaware (MHA) is a statewide, nonprofit organization founded in 1932 to promote mental health. MHA provides services throughout Delaware, and our focus is education, support and advocacy for mental health issues. MHA is an affiliate of Mental Health America. With over 240 affiliates, Mental Health America represents the largest and oldest voluntary citizen’s organization concerned with mental health and mental illness. The MHA strives to: - Improve the community’s understanding of mental health and the mind-body connection between mental and physical health. - Provide education and opportunities for individuals to identify early warning signs of mental illness and subsequently provide programs and an environment that supports recovery and improves resilience for these individuals. - Assure that those who request information and need mental health care referral have confidential access to the appropriate information and know how to obtain care. - Advocate for improved support and treatment particularly at the state and federal levels, especially where reform is needed. Our annual fundraiser, E-Racing The Blues, is every fall. Visit eracingtheblues.com for details. Follow us! Facebook: facebook.com/MHAinDE Twitter: @MHADelaware Twitter: @MHADelaware
