MHA of South Mississippi

MHASM has been working to empower people who suffer from mental illness since 1963. It began as a grassroots organization founded by a group of ladies who sold their knitted goods to purchase Christmas gifts for people institutionalized at State Hospital in Whitfield. Today, we consider MHASM a community support agency. We administer grants provided by federal and state agencies. As the state affiliate of Mental Health America, a national agency, we have the opportunity to take advantage of their programs and expertise
