The local chapter of the Mental Health Association of Southwest Ohio, Inc. was established in 1918 and was incorporated in 1960. The MHA is a non-governmental voluntary organization supported by the United Way, individual memberships and contributions, fund raising activities and grants.
Our energies and resources are devoted to:
- Work for the prevention of mental illness and the promotion of mental health

- Improve services for persons affected by a mental illness
Today, the MHA has over 100 volunteers who are involved in Prevention programs such as the Clermont County Suicide Prevention Program; supportive services such as Compeer, Prevention Connection and Support Group Clearinghouse; and, educational programs such as monthly Mental Health Roundtables, public lectures and professional workshops. In addition, MHA conducts stigma eradication and mental health screening activities throughout the year but especially during Mental Health Month each May and Mental Illness Awareness Week each October.
The mission of the MHA is to be an advocate and catalyst for the promotion of mental health and for the improved quality of life for people with mental illness and their families.
