Mental Wellness Month

Mental Health is a crisis within our society.

Mental Health America (MHA) was founded in 1909 and is the leading national nonprofit dedicated
to the promotion of mental health, well-being, and illness prevention. Our work is informed, designed,
and led by the lived experience of those most affected. Operating nationally and in communities
across the country, Mental Health America advocates for closing the mental health equity gap, while
increasing nationwide awareness and understanding through public education, direct services,
tools, and research, making MHA a national standard bearer in public mental health advocacy and
community-based solutions.

MHA dedicates this report to mental health advocates who fight tirelessly to help expand access to
care and reduce disparities and inequities for people with mental health concerns. To our affiliates,
thank you for your incredible state-level advocacy and dedication to promoting recovery and
protecting the rights of all.
