MHA is a private, not-for-profit organization seeking to promote the mental health and emotional well being of Orange County residents. Under the leadership of a volunteer Board of Directors, MHA's staff members, consultants and volunteers provide free mental health and safety net services to thousands of Orange County residents each year. In addition, MHA staffs and volunteers answer crisis calls, provide companionship, public education, direct services and assist with fundraisers. Funding for the services is provided largely through county, state, and federal allocation grants. Private contributions, membership drives, memorial endowments and community fundraisers are also important sources of revenue.
