NMHA strives to improve the mental health of our nation through advocacy, education, research and service. At the core of our efforts are targeted public education campaigns that educate the public about what mental illness is, when to seek help and what treatment options are available. Our public education programs target diverse populations with mental health needs, including teenagers, veterans, communities of color and more. Through these services, NMHA has educated and improved access to treatment for millions of Americans, enabling them to seek care and enjoying fulfilling, productive lives in their communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also actively advocate nationally and locally to remove barriers to treatment, such as under-funded and fragmented service systems, that often prevent individuals from getting the help they need. NMHA seeks to improve access to treatment for adults and children with mental health and substance abuse problems, eliminate stigma and discrimination, and reverse the absence of culturally competent, individualized community-based treatment options. Our broad-based programs and services are targeted toward one goal – saving lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e \u003cdetails\u003e \u003csummary\u003eImpact\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNMHA works closely with more than 70 national partner organizations to develop and conduct educational events, screenings and media activities that reaches the general public, healthcare providers, employers and policymakers.

NMHA forms partnerships with community groups to educate diverse populations about depression, promote screenings, and generate local media coverage.  NMHA also hosts an online depression screening tool – www.depression-screening.org.  Since 1992, this effort has helped hundreds of thousands across the country recognize depression, get needed treatment, and resume productive, fulfilling lives.  We have reached out to parents and caregivers with a Back-to-School program that supplies practical information about child and adolescent social\/emotional development; we provide Back-to-Campus kits to help train resident assistants in recognizing mental health problems in freshman students; and we provide and distribute information on such subjects as reaching out to military personnel, and training volunteers for dealing with victims of crime or national disasters, such as hurricanes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mental Health America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32106727080038,"sku":"1010190G","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/4701\/products\/gift_image_04605_00904.jpg?v=1571609570"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/4701\/collections\/MHA_2C_Low_Res_ad1cc7cc-77a6-46e9-8662-857ce14ef980.gif?v=1594863490","url":"https:\/\/changingthepresent.org\/collections\/mental-health-america\/health_mental-health.oembed","provider":"Changing The Present","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
