ALAMEDA COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION

The mission of The Mental Health Association of Alameda County (MHAAC) is to empower adults and youth with mental health challenges and their families to live their best lives. We do this through education, support, advocacy, and shared experience. We provide client and family driven services delivered by highly trained, compassionate and committed staff who share the belief that recovery can and does occur. MHAAC’s vision is that people with mental health challenges and their family members will be free from stigma and be provided the support and services they need to thrive. The agency has served people with mental health challenges and their families in Alameda County since 1958. In 2006, MHAAC also began providing services in San Mateo County (through our Patients’ Rights Advocacy program) and in 2019 we began providing services in Marin County (also through our Patients’ Rights Advocacy program). The agency serves over 24,000 individuals annually.
