It is the mission of the Mental Health Association to assist consumers who have a diagnosis of a serious mental illness with improving their quality of life achieve their desired mental and behavioral health outcomes. We do this through a rehabilitative day program offered 5 days a week to qualifying individuals who desire to get more out of their recovery. Each consumer participates in an individualized rehabilitative program in accordance with his or her personal needs, goals, and level of ability. Consumer satisfaction is a primary indicator of quality services.
