OUR MISSION

The Mental Health Association in Tulsa is dedicated to promoting mental health, preventing mental disorders and achieving victory over mental illness through advocacy, education, research, service and housing. We are a proud affiliate of Mental Health America, the new name and face of the National Mental Health Association.

Founded in 1955, the Mental Health Association in Tulsa was one of the first Mental Health Associations in the nation. Among its early programs were ones revolving around socialization for persons returning home after hospitalization, a suicide prevention hotline, a teen crisis hotline, and a crisis unit where patients could be evaluated rather than being held in jail.

Today, the Mental Health Association in Tulsa offers a variety of programs including ones focused on housing, education, advocacy, support, and assessment and referral. The Association’s programs work because of the professional staff who administer the services and the numerous caring and dedicated volunteers who provide caring and insight to those who come seeking assistance.
