Founded in 1933, Mental Health America (MHA) of Central Carolinas has been the voice of hope for those impacted by mental illness in the greater Charlotte area for 90 years. Free services are available for Cabarrus and Mecklenburg residents thanks to generous funders and community donations. MHA offers counseling services for uninsured and underinsured individuals ages 8 and older, families, groups, and couples in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus Counties. We have two mental health counseling programs, the free MHA Counseling Center and the Short-Term Counseling Program.
MHA provides family support services to parents of children with behavioral, emotional or mental health needs; peer support for adults living with chronic mental illnesses; free counseling for those who can’t afford it; and mental health education and preventative trainings to the broader community. MHA’s programs bring together mental health consumers, parents, advocates and service providers to address systemic issues impacting mental health.
