Welcome to BMHA

Mission
The primary mission of the organization is to provide and promote a holistic, culturally relevant approach to the development and maintenance of optimal mental health for African Americans and other people of color.

At BMHA, we are active, clear and resolute in our efforts to serve as a liaison between mental health providers and persons suffering from emotional distress or mental disorders through clinical service referrals and/or social support linkages.

In addition, we are constantly making strides to determine optimal measures to prevent or minimize the predisposing factors that may contribute to the stigma, misdiagnosis, inaccessibility of care, inadequate treatment or lack thereof that is so prevalent within the African American community. It is evident that we have serious challenges ahead, but this is also a time of opportunity.

To this end, we are actively building partnerships with other community based and faith based organizations, and medical establishments who share our commitment. Please read about BMHA's services and take advantage of the other offerings on our website.
