Description
Established in 1965, Mental Health America of the North Shore began as a haven for parents and community members concerned with a lack of mental health services for young people. We seek to provide education and resources to promote mental wellness. We advocate for individuals and families affected by mental and emotional issues through partnerships, teen outreach, legislative efforts, a speakers bureau and more. Mental Health America of the North Shore is committed to promoting mental wellness and fighting the stigma associated with seeking mental health services so people can get the help they need. MHANS is affiliated with Mental Health America of Illinois and Mental Health America. For more information, visit www.mhans.org or like us on Facebook (Mental Health America North Shore-MHANS).
