The Mental Health Association of Palm Beach County, Inc., founded in 1949, is a community-supported, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mental wellness, preventing mental disorders and achieving victory over mental illness through advocacy, education, research and services.

Listen to Children Program is a mentoring program in which a trained volunteer is matched with a child on a one-to-one basis. The volunteer meets with the child once a week for 30-45 minutes throughout the whole school year. The two develop a friendship that encourages the child to choose from alternatives in solving problems, expand thinking, verbalize feelings and develop increased non-judmental communication skills.
