Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago

Suicide Prevention Hotline : 1-800-273-TALK

Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago, better known as MHAGC, is a 501(c)3 independent not-for-profit, volunteer organization. And we are dedicated to helping people live healthier lives with effective mental health education.

Since 1957, we have worked to break the stigma associated with mental illnesses and empower our communities to seek the necessary support to prevent and overcome mental disorders.

We have made this our mission for over six decades and we’ve achieved this by bringing mental health education to schools, homes, and the communities.

To enhance mental and emotional wellness in our communities by delivering education, collaboration and support programs.

At MHAGC, we use education-based strategies to tackle mental health issues. And our holistic approach ensures that MHAGC education programs are designed not just for those vulnerable to mental illnesses, but also for their loved ones. This is why our mental health programs for young people also reach out to teachers and parents, while programs for veterans also integrate their families.

We believe that effective and accessible education is the key to draw urgent attention to mental health issues plaguing our society. This is essential to ensure that the right support can be reached for both prevention and effective treatment.
