DESCRIPTION
Mental Health America of Greater Houston, established in 1954 by philanthropist Ima Hogg, is the area’s longest-serving mental health education and advocacy organization focused on shaping the mental health of people and communities in the areas of children and education, integrated health care, veterans, and community education.
We actively work to replace stigmas about mental illness with compassion and proper treatment. Our work:
Provides education and training for the community
Removes barriers to mental health care
Facilitates change in systems
Advocates for legislative solutions
Addresses the vast need for public mental health services
Links people to mental health services
Mental illness affects all members of the Greater Houston area in some way; according to a report issued by the University of Texas School of Public Health, more than 30% of Houstonians are within the close social network of a person with a severe mental illness. Families, schools, and businesses are all benefiting from our work which increases access to health and human services that aim at prevention, early intervention, and treatment of behavioral disorders and mental illness.
