About us
The Mental Health Association in Delaware promotes improved mental well being for all individuals and families in Delaware through education, support, and advocacy. The Mental Health Association in Delaware (MHA) is a statewide, nonprofit organization founded in 1932 to promote mental health. MHA provides services throughout Delaware, and our focus is education, support and advocacy for mental health issues. MHA is an affiliate of Mental Health America. With over 240 affiliates, Mental Health America represents the largest and oldest voluntary citizen’s organization concerned with mental health and mental illness. The MHA strives to: - Improve the community’s understanding of mental health and the mind-body connection between mental and physical health. - Provide education and opportunities for individuals to identify early warning signs of mental illness and subsequently provide programs and an environment that supports recovery and improves resilience for these individuals. - Assure that those who request information and need mental health care referral have confidential access to the appropriate information and know how to obtain care. - Advocate for improved support and treatment particularly at the state and federal levels, especially where reform is needed.

On Monday, July 8, 2024, our team at the Mental Health Association in Delaware held a very special ceremony honoring five recent graduates of the MHA/DOC Peer Training program. (DOC=Delaware Department of Corrections) We held this celebration at the Community Service Building in Wilmington, Delaware. These five men began training as peers while still incarcerated Delaware's correctional facilities. They completed Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) program requirements, as well as preparation for the IC&RC national peer exam. Altogether, each completed 500+ hours of training and mentoring before their release. Our graduates were: - Anthony Jackson - Courtney "Jonesy" Jones - Luis Charriez - James Wright - Robert "Ferg" Ferguson All of our esteemed program graduates took a few minutes to share their own experiences with those in attendance, and discuss their new endeavors following their release. One of the graduates said, "If I had known how good it feels to help people, I would have been doing this work a long time ago." Thank you to Natalie Klaus- Rogers, Ryan Leonardo, CPRS, and Jason O'Connor for building this special event from the ground up. We wish to thank the Delaware Department of Corrections, Delaware Department of Health and Social Services/Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DHSS/DSAMH), Missed Opts, New Beginnings, and our partners at the Plummer Center for their help bringing this moment to life. And thank you to our graduates for your hard work - we wish you all the best as you begin your new lives and careers as certified peers. It has been an absolute honor to support you in this journey. #peersupport #justiceinvolved #peergraduates #peers #welcomecolleagues #thankyou #communitysupport #recoveryispossible #mentalhealthrecovery #substanceuserecovery #bemoredomore
