How We Help
Through education, advocacy, empowerment, and treatment, MHA helps everyone face their challenges and make lasting positive changes.
Families 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
Adults Mental health is about more than our struggles - it is our ability to realize our capabilities. To connect with others. To build strong relationships and achieve our goals.
Helping Adults
Children & Adolescents 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.
