About us
The Mental Health Association in Delaware promotes improved mental well being for all individuals and families in Delaware through education, support, and advocacy. The Mental Health Association in Delaware (MHA) is a statewide, nonprofit organization founded in 1932 to promote mental health. MHA provides services throughout Delaware, and our focus is education, support and advocacy for mental health issues. MHA is an affiliate of Mental Health America. With over 240 affiliates, Mental Health America represents the largest and oldest voluntary citizen’s organization concerned with mental health and mental illness. The MHA strives to: - Improve the community’s understanding of mental health and the mind-body connection between mental and physical health. - Provide education and opportunities for individuals to identify early warning signs of mental illness and subsequently provide programs and an environment that supports recovery and improves resilience for these individuals. - Assure that those who request information and need mental health care referral have confidential access to the appropriate information and know how to obtain care. - Advocate for improved support and treatment particularly at the state and federal levels, especially where reform is needed. Our annual fundraiser, E-Racing The Blues, is every fall. Visit eracingtheblues.com for details. Follow us! Facebook: facebook.com/MHAinDE Twitter: @MHADelaware Twitter: @MHADelaware

Mental Health Association in Delaware would like to thank Andrew Shearer and his family for partnering with us once again for a very successful 7th Annual One Mile An Hour event on June 14-15, 2024. About 45 high school and college students registered to spend the night in their tents at Appoquinimink High School in #MiddletownDE to walk/run one mile at the top of every hour for 24 hours straight. Lots of other drop-in runners came in throughout the event to walk or run a mile and generate awareness for MHA's suicide prevention initiatives. People also participated virtually at home. The results? - A total of 901 miles were clocked in during the 24-hour period. - Approximately $6,000 was raised for suicide prevention by the participants WOW. A heartfelt thanks to all the participants, donors, sponsors, and of course, our fearless leader, Andrew Shearer and his family. #walkrunroll #awarenesswalk #thankyou #thankyousponsors #middletowndelaware #delaware #suicideprevention #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #bemoredomore #yourock Appoquinimink School District #thankyousomuch #publichealth #awareness
