The Mental Health Collective (MHC) was established in 1999 to provide affordable, respectful and meaningful mental health services to clients who, for a variety of reasons, may not have access to services.

We work with general mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, self-care, self-esteem and stress management.

In addition to working with general mental health issues, we also help clients with issues around anger, addictions and impulse control; work conflicts; career planning; parenting and healthy development; relationships; conflict resolution; sexuality and sexual orientation; identity; and spiritual connection.

Our Vision Is:
• To improve the emotional health and well-being of our diverse community.

Our Mission Is:
• To solve problems through community partnerships.
• To provide affordable, accessible, and culturally sensitive mental health services.
• To locate services in community locations including public schools and neighborhood centers.
• To mentor mental health professionals and others in community outreach and collaboration.

As a Statement of Values, We Believe That:
• Healthy relationships affirm life, improve health and build community.
• Each person’s abilities, sense of self, cultural context, and life experiences are important.
• Community mental health services should address issues affecting the health of the community.
• Individuals benefit by seeing a larger purpose outside of themselves.
• Community involvement has reciprocal benefit: individuals benefit from improved community health and improve their own learning, healing and growth.
