We
are a not-for-profit part of a nearly century old organization, Mental Health
America of Indiana, which is the oldest and largest charitable organization –
with over 50 chapters --dealing with mental illness and encouraging mental wellness
in Indiana.
Mental
Health America of Indiana was founded in 1916 and the Hancock County chapter was
founded in 1954.
Mental
Health America of Hancock County works in partnership with a broad network of
MHA's across Indiana on local, state and national issues to promote mental wellness
everywhere people live, work and play; support emotional development of young
people; empower people to protect their rights and to direct their own mental
health and well-being; and to ensure access to quality mental health care for
all everyday and in times of crisis.
Our
mental health is challenged daily. We must provide treatment when required, but
focus on prevention and the promotion of wellness. Mental Health America believes
the time is now to work together to bring wellness home to everyone in Indiana
and in this country.
It is estimated that more than 60 millions Americans, a full fifth of the country’s
population, annually seek help in work through serious mental conditions. The
important first step is to connect to the critical treatment that can help them
move on to recovery and back to the mainstream of life. Understanding treatment
options and accessing help can be roadblocks for many. Mental Health America works
to help everyone know the steps to experience mental wellness for a lifetime.
Locally, we encourage,
provide and advocate for mental health and emotional wellness through programs
and services for all resident of our community.
Mental
health must be merged in our thinking and attitude with overall health. We should
seek to be mentally acute for a lifetime, and to address mental conditions early
so as to move through a lifetime of mental wellness. Mental Health America connects
people with the help they need, as the nation’s network for mental health
information and advocacy.
Mental
Health America of Hancock County works to create a culture of mental wellness
in which Hancock county residents understand and manage their mental health and
lead mentally healthy and successful lives due to its advocacy, education, research
and service.
