Our Mission

The Mental Health Association of Morris County, Inc. has a hopeful message to all; that people with mental illness can achieve recovery and lead full and productive lives in their communities.  We are dedicated to providing that greater hope and belief in the possibility of recovery through our many programs and services.

Incorporated in 1953, the Mental Health Association of Morris County (MHAMC) is a local chapter of the New Jersey Division of Mental Health America (formerly National Mental Health Association).  The roots of the MHA go back to 1909 when Clifford Beers, who was hospitalized for bipolar illness, set out after his recovery to reform the care and treatment of people with mental illnesses.  Toward that goal, Mental Health America was formed as the fist consumer advocacy organization.  Today, MHA is the only nationwide citizens' organization concerned with all aspects of mental health and mental illness.

MHAMC envisions a just, humane, and healthy society in which all people are accorded respect, dignity, and the opportunity to achieve their full potential free from stigma and prejudice. In Morris County, our mission is to empower people in recovery from mental illnesses to live quality lives in their communities. We work to empower family members to become partners with mental health consumers and professionals in the treatment and recovery process. We link people who have a need for mental health treatment to available services and resources. We work to fill gaps in the Morris County mental health system by providing programs and services that are responsive to consumer needs and preferences. Finally, we strive to increase public awareness about issues in mental health, while promoting mental wellness for everyone.

We fulfill our mission through a variety of programs and services, including Integrated Case Management Services, Homeless Outreach & Supportive Housing, Residential Intensive Support, Consumer Empowerment, Disaster Response, and Community Education which includes Information & Referral.
