A MESSAGE FROM Mental Health America of Greater Houston

Mental illness affects all members of the Greater Houston area in some way; according to a report issued by the University of Texas School of Public Health, more than 30% of Houstonians are within the close social network of a person with a severe mental illness. Families, schools, and businesses are all benefiting from our work which increases access to health and human services aimed at prevention, early intervention, and treatment of behavioral disorders and mental illness.


Mental Health America of Greater Houston, established in 1954 by philanthropist Ima Hogg, is the area’s longest serving mental health education and advocacy organization focused on shaping the mental health of people and communities in the areas of children and education, integrated health care, veterans, and community education. 


Our mission is to empower the community through mental health education, advocacy, and connection to care.
