MHAAC
Advocacy. Support. Hope.
The Mental Health Association of Alameda County (MHAAC) is a nonprofit organization that has been advocating for individuals with mental illness in the Alameda, San Mateo, and Marin Counties since 1958. Governed by a Board of Directors and staffed by qualified individuals who are trained in trauma-informed care, and passionate about standing by people with mental health conditions, MHAAC runs multiple programs to help individuals and their families thrive. Serving over 24,000 individuals every year, we are proud to offer free support, education, and mental health resources to family caregivers.
Our mission is to empower adults and youth with mental health conditions and their families to live their best lives. We do this through education, support, advocacy, and shared experience. We provide client and family driven services delivered by highly trained, compassionate, and committed staff who share the belief that recovery can and does occur.
Integrity: Following through with what we say we are going to do, committing to being authentic and transparent, and always trying to do the right thing.
Accountability: Accepting responsibility for our actions, holding ourselves to the highest standards, and admitting when we could have done better.
Teamwork: Proactively helping and offering assistance to people who may be struggling, working together, asking for help when we need it, and learning from each other.
