The National Mental Health Association Sports a New Name, Agenda

By John M. Grohol, PsyD
Founder & Editor-in-Chief

The National Mental Health Association decided it was time for a makeover and a renewed agenda. With a new logo and a fresh website, the NMHA changed its name to Mental Health America.

Mental Health America said the name change is designed to better reflect the nearly 100-year-old organization’s commitment to helping improve the mental health of all Americans and to end discrimination against the 60 million Americans who suffer various forms of mental illness. The organization has 320 local affiliates throughout the U.S.
