Mental Health Association of Frederick County

Through education, advocacy, empowerment, and treatment, MHA helps everyone face their challenges and make lasting positive changes.

Parents today are faced with the challenge of raising children in an increasingly complicated world. We offer a number of programs that promote positive parenting and support parents with this difficult, yet rewarding, task.

Helping Families

Mental Health is about more than our struggles it is our ability to realize our capabilites. To connect with others. To build strong relationships and achieve our goals.

Helping Adults

The first five years of a child’s life are when 90% of brain growth occurs. The key to a child’s success tomorrow is preparing children’s mental and emotional resilience now. MHA offers a wide array of programs and services that educate, support and nurture children and adolescents, to give them the best chance at living full, productive lives.

My nephew, a brilliant young man, has unfortunately been hampered by mental illness his entire adult life. Fortunately there are organizations that raise money and awareness which has helped him through trying times.
