We advocate. We educate. We serve. Since 1964, Mental Health America of Southwestern PA (MHA-SWPA) has worked to fight the stigma associated with mental illness through outreach and educational efforts. MHA-SWPA provides educational programs that help individuals learn about mental wellness as well as explain the challenges of depression, bipolar disorder, and other types of mental illness. We are dedicated to breaking down barriers and eliminating the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders. We envision a just, humane, and healthy community in which all people are accorded respect, dignity, and the opportunity to enhance their mental health and develop to their full potential, free from stigma and prejudice.
