MHA DIRECTIONS
MHA's site The Web
Mental Health  Association in Orange County understands that racism undermines mental wellness. Therefore, we are committed to anti-racism in all that we do.
This means that we pledge to work against individual racism, interpersonal racism, and institutional racism in all their forms.
Mission Statement: MHA is a private, not-for-profit organization seeking to promote the mental health and emotional well being of
Orange County residents. Under the leadership of a volunteer Board of Directors, MHA's staff members, consultants and volunteers provide
free mental health and safety net services to thousands of Orange County residents each year.  In addition, MHA staffs and volunteers
answer crisis calls, provide companionship, public education, direct services and assist with fundraisers.

Funding for the services is provided largely through county, state, and federal allocation grants. Private contributions, membership drives,
memorial endowments and community fundraisers are also important sources of revenue.

Mental Health Association in Orange County, Inc. is poised to launch a new reimbursement program designed to assist individuals who live on their own or with a member of their family. We previously oversaw a fund in partnership with a group that served children who have since aged out. Our goal with the new fund is to expand eligibility so that we may serve as many people as we can in the Developmental Disability community. Eligibility for the program would require proof of disability and proof of Orange County residence and is not limited to an age range. This new fund  will be available to support extenuating needs for families/individuals who can request fiscal assistance for goods and services or reimbursement for recent expenditures not otherwise within their budget. The reimbursement program will not require OPWDD eligibility and will be accessible to anyone with either an autism diagnosis as well as other developmental disabilities.
