Same mission. New look.

Introducing our new logo.
The wave elements represent the reality that healing isn’t linear; it moves, shifts, and evolves over time just as MHA walks alongside individuals and families, connecting our community to the resources, support, and care they need at every step, for every future. Our colors blend MHA’s familiar purple, symbolizing recovery, with a new green that reflects growth and mental health. The bold lettering represents the strength and stability of our organization and the trusted support we provide our community. 

New website coming soon.
Walk-In Crisis Services can be accessed either in-person at 340 Montevue Lane or online.
If you prefer to access the Virtual Walk-in Service, Please Click Here . 
Walk-In Crisis Services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
