Our Vision

To have 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.

Our Mission

The mission of Mental Health America of Vanderburgh County is to educate the community about mental health issues and to promote mental health through awareness, advocacy and service.

We are an affiliate of National Mental Health America and one of more than 40 affiliates located throughout Indiana and 340 nationwide. Locally we were founded in the 1950's and began reaching out to the patients at Evansville State Hospital.

Mental Health America is a respected leader in mental health issues. It is a non-profit organization committed to improving the quality of life for the mentally ill through education, volunteerism, support services, and advocacy.

Mental Health America is a broad-based group of volunteers and professionals working together to:

Promote the mental health of all citizens of Vanderburgh and surrounding counties through educational programs.
Increase public understanding and acceptance of persons with mental illness.
Foster the delivery of the most appropriate and effective services to all individuals in need.
Initiate reform of the mental health service system through advocacy and public policy.
Ensure that mental health needs are properly met by providing information and referral to the appropriate sources.

We are proud to be a United Way Agency!
