History


For more than 2 generations, Mental Health America of Licking County has been dedicated to responding to the community and its mental health and wellness needs.

Established in 1953, Mental Health America of Licking County is a valuable education, prevention, support and advocacy resource to all men, women and children living in Licking County. We promote good mental health and victory over mental illness through a variety of programs and services that provide consumer and family support and referral services, build developmental assets in youth, educate the community on mental health issues and reduce stigma.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimated that one in four Americans, young and old, suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder every year.

Mental Health America of Licking County offers a helping hand of hope and support to those facing mental health issues. Every day, our programs and services make a difference in the lives of Licking County residents. In our most recent fiscal year, MHA served more than 20,000 people throughout Licking County with programming designed to help them live their lives well.
