Mission Statement
The Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago's vision is to significantly reduce the stigma and prejudice associated with mental illness by promoting brain health and developing strategies towards mental wellness. MHAGC's mission is to enhance mental and emotional wellness in our communities by delivering education, collaboration and support programs.
About This Cause
At MHAGC, we are dedicated to creating a future where no life is lost to mental illness, ensuring accessible help for all. In the face of the growing mental health crisis, we aim to be a guiding light, fostering well-being and brighter futures. Our comprehensive programs are designed to support individuals of all ages, with a particular focus on children, adolescents, and emerging adults. We address every aspect of mental health, from identification and prevention to providing unwavering support. Our unique approach also covers nutrition, environmental factors, and avoiding triggers that can exacerbate mental health issues. By emphasizing brain health education, we empower individuals with the knowledge to recognize mental health challenges, take appropriate action, and access the necessary resources. A key initiative, our "6 for 6 Mental Health Breakfast Series," plays a pivotal role in our community outreach. This series consists of six educational breakfasts, offering crucial mental health education to school personnel, parents, and community members. By providing expert insights and practical strategies, these events help create a supportive environment for our youth in their homes, schools, and broader community settings. The goal is to equip our kids with the resources and support they need to face challenges positively and prevent harmful outcomes. We are also committed to supporting educators. Through specialized webinars, we equip teachers with the tools to address mental health, bullying, and brain-based learning in their classrooms. These webinars are designed to help teachers manage mental health-related issues, enhancing students' well-being in both remote and in-person learning environments. In today's world, mental health is an inseparable component of overall well-being. By supporting MHAGC and our transformative educational and support programs, you contribute to a brighter tomorrow, where every individual can thrive with confidence and hope. Together, let's build resilient and mentally healthier communities, benefiting all of us. Join us on this remarkable journey and make a lasting difference in countless lives.
