Community mental health support and education.

What We Do

Minority Behavioral Health Alliance connects communities with mental health education, support, and awareness. Our work focuses on meeting people where they are by going out into the community, starting conversations, and helping individuals better understand mental health and the resources available to them.

We provide education around emotional wellness and highlight how support can help with challenges such as trauma, anxiety, and stress. Our goal is to increase awareness, reduce stigma, and create a stronger connection between the community and mental health services.

As a nonprofit, we are building a centralized presence to help more people across the area learn who we are, what we offer, and how to connect with us.
