what we offer
Statement of Purpose
Our organization works for wellness, mental health and victory over mental and substance use conditions through the development of a coordinated citizens’ voluntary movement; to advocate for the improved care and treatment of persons with mental and substance use conditions; to advocate for improved methods and services in research, prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of mental and substance use conditions; to educate the public about mental and substance use conditions and their causes and treatments; and to fight stigma and prejudice and promote social justice and recovery from mental and substance use conditions.
- 1) Mental health is a fundamental social justice issue
- 2) There is no health without mental health
- 3) Concern for the public’s health demands that disparities in treatment and the disproportionality of the burden of illness be eradicated
- 4) We require change that is commensurate to the enormous magnitude of behavioral health problems in multiple aspects of our culture, our communities, our neighborhoods and our families
- 5) MHA represents a growing movement of Americans who promote mental wellness for the health and well-being of the nation. This movement must engage and involve the general public as well as persons with mental and substance use conditions in all its aspects
- 6) We emphasize recovery from mental and substance use conditions for all
- – To raise our voice for people affected by mental and substance use conditions that have not had a voice
- – To diversity and cultural competence in programs, communication, treatment, and relationships
- – To the translation of science into practice
- – To ensuring that the public’s trust is confirmed through efficient conscientious leadership and stewardship
