ABOUT THE MHA The Mental Health Association in Indian River County (MHA) is the only mental health care agency in the county that operates a Walk-In & Counseling Center where Indian River County residents (children and adults) can receive an immediate mental health screening, free of charge, without an appointment. We provide a full range of mental health services. The MHA also operates three peer-run Drop-In Centers, which provide daily support for adults with severe & persistent mental health issues, open 365 days per year. We believe all people should be afforded the opportunity for an improved quality of life through access to quality care, reduced stigma, and increased acceptance within a community that has an informed understanding of mental health issues. That’s why we are focused on providing immediate access to mental health care without barriers. Our promise to you is to operate as a model agency for mental health care, sustaining a superb staff and facilities, and administering high standards of therapeutic treatment, innovation, and professionalism.
