Our vision is improved lives for people with mental illnesses.
The mission of the Mental Health Association of Minnesota is to enhance mental health, promote individual empowerment, and increase access to treatment and services for persons with mental illnesses.
* Through our Education Program, we raise awareness of mental health issues in the general public and offer programs and resources to individuals, families, employers, and youth.
* Individual Advocates help individuals and families navigate the mental health system and access community resources for mental health care, housing, employment, and other services.
* Our Issues Advocacy Program focuses on public policy and represents people with mental illnesses to: ensure and maintain parity in health care coverage for mental health; increase funding for community-based services; improve services in local communities through county funding from the state; and ensure due process for social services.
