Mental Health America Lake County Has Been Helping for 60 Years W hen you walk into Mental Health America of Lake County’s office in Hammond, there is one glaring detail that stands out; it’s nearly empty. This may seem unconventional at first, but once you understand the organization’s mission and community impact, one thing is clear; MHALC is changing the community for the better. “The dedicated professionals of Mental Health America of Lake County provide connection,” said CEO Renae VaniaTomczak. “For some that’s defined as connecting to needed community resources; for others it’s defined as the ability to connect in offering support where no support exists.” MHALC, a non-profit organization specializing in the prevention and early intervention of mental illness, is celebrating their 60th anniversary this year. Although their focus has shifted since the organization’s founding in 1957, their impact on families throughout the community is only becoming more prevalent. When founded, the organization’s mission was to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. However, in late 1990s, they decided to shift gears, and take their efforts into the living rooms of Northwest Indiana. “We work with families to educate and empower them to make positive choices and changes in their lives, which directly impacts future generations of children growing up in Lake County,” said Freyek. Since t his cha nge, MH A LC has become a premier prevention agency in Lake County. They have also grown into the areas largest home visiting parent education agency, providing more than 12,000 home visits to 1,200 families in 2016. Along with in-home visits, the organization offers a multitude of programs aimed at promoting positive mental health and overall well-being for children and families.
