MISSION To provide immediate access with no barriers to mental health care. It’s Okay to Get Help! VISION Individuals will be afforded an opportunity for an improved quality of life through access to a continuum of care, reduced stigma of mental health issues, and increased integration and acceptance within a community that has an informed understanding of mental health issues. PROMISE Our promise is to operate as a model agency for mental health care, sustaining a superb staff and facilities, and administering the agency with high standards of innovation and professionalism.
ABOUT
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 a safe haven for adults with severe & persistent mental illness, open 365 days per year.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
2018/19
CHAIRMAN Ross Cotherman VICE CHAIR Steve Erickson TREASURER Richard Yarborough AT LARGE Jamie Bell Anne Lanier Kyle Melanson Stacey Morabito Tyler Puttick Justin Larson Susana Marikle, PsyD CEO Nicholas Coppola, DO, MBA
DEAR FRIENDS,
2019 was a busy year here at the MHA. We underwent a full brand identity overhaul, added new staff and programs, served 1,174 unduplicated clients, provided nearly 9,000 services and reached 1,067 Indian River County students through our School Violence and Suicide Prevention Program. And we did it all with the help of donors like you. There are two rather large elephants in the room, though. The first is, of course, mental health itself. According to Mental Health America’s State of Mental Health in America 2020, Florida ranked 6th in the nation for adult prevalence of mental illness, 2nd for number of adults with serious thoughts of suicide and 22nd in the nation for prevalence of mental illness in youth; yet it provided less access to care than 36 states for adults and 25 states for children. In fact, The 2019 Indian River Community Needs Assessment found that 90% of our residents felt that Mental Health (the concern identified as the number one need) was a problem in the community and 28.9% of IRC adults reported that they have sought professional help for mental or emotional issues. Put bluntly, we have more need and less resources. For 60 years, 2
the MHA has been a beacon of hope for the community with a mission of providing quality care, immediately, and without barriers. We established one of Florida’s first Walk-In & Counseling Centers where children and adults in crisis can seek help when they need it without an appointment, and we operate three Drop-In Centers, open 365 days a year, where individuals with persistent mental health issues can become part of a family. How do we do it? Through grants, donations and events. This brings us to elephant number two: charitable giving has been in decline. This year, fundraising revenue nationwide was down 7.3% compared to the same period last year. That’s on top of 2018’s 3.4% decline in individual giving. Our Board and executive staff have worked tirelessly to combat this by seeking more grants, being highly fiscally responsible, and even reaching out to local representatives to assist us in our efforts to secure federal funding; we are leaving no stone unturned. Despite the challenges, though, we’ve come out on top and we will continue to push forward because the MHA’s top priority is what it always has been - the mental health of the members of our community. Please join us in fulfilling this mission in the year ahead. Thank you for your continued support. *

All The Best, Nicholas Coppola, CEO

The program provides a safe space for students to learn about depression, to remind students that they are never alone, and to assure them that there is somewhere to turn.
