Mental Health Association of Westchester, Inc.

MHA offers a range of treatment and support services that are person-centered, recovery-oriented, and individualized to promote recovery and wellness. MHA reaches out to families and individuals by providing services in their homes, nursing homes, homeless shelters and other community sites. Responding to community needs, particularly the needs of returning World War II veterans and school children who were exhibiting serious behavioral problems, MHA was founded in 1946 with a goal of establishing the County's first outpatient mental health clinics. Since then, MHA has been the premier advocate for mental health in the community, serving as a front-line resource for children, adults and families experiencing emotional disturbances and mental illnesses.
