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.

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.
