We envision a community where effective and relevant mental health services are available and accessible to all people with mental health needs; and a community that values and supports preventive and educational programs that promote mental health and wellness. Generous funding would allow us to grow programming, impacting more individuals.

Mental Health America of Greater Dallas also produces several premier mental health conferences and events. MHA is proud to produce the annual Adolescent Symposium of Texas, going on its 49th year! Each year, we draw over 50 speakers and hundreds of attendees from all over the U.S. to address a variety of youth mental health topics. MHA has also introduced Adolescent Symposium "On the Road," hosted at a different venue every year. Additionally, MHA produces the PRISM Awards, an important, coveted award for champions of mental health in DFW.

We are proud to create a community where mental health issues are identified, and where mental health care is made available and accessible to everyone who needs it. We thank you for your partnership in helping those with mental illness reach their fullest potential, no matter their barriers.
