Mental Health America of Los Angeles has helped thousands of individuals return to a place of hope and new beginnings.
We All Need a Chance to Heal
“How to not suffer in silence is one of the greatest gifts because it gives you the opportunity to start the process of healing.”
Mental Health Is an Everybody Issue
“Getting control of my mental health meant getting my self-respect and confidence back. I feel like me again, but changed from the experience.”
Going Through All the MHALA Programs Was a Godsend
“I wish there were more facilities like MHALA. I wish there was something like that on every corner, because people do need help.”
Getting Connected to MHALA Helped Me Right From the Start
“My personal service coordinator Nikki, helped me look for jobs and stuck by my side the entire time. I don’t know what I would have done without her.”
Everyone Always Treated Me With a Smile
“MHALA took a lot of time with me. They would have me interact with groups a lot, encouraged me to try things and praised me for what I had accomplished.”
Now I Have a Really Strong Support System
“MHALA gave me a community. I believe very strongly that we really need that to feel connected. Now I have a really strong support system to listen to me.”
A Journey of Restoration and Self-Expression
“When others see my art with a sense of wonder, it gives me a greater sense of accomplishment is when I see what I can make when I express myself.”
My Life Is New
“I’m now clean and sober, gained brand-new relationships with brand-new friends. My life is real and I am truly thankful to MHALA.”
MHALA Came Through for Me
“MHALA also helped me out temporarily with rental assistance. They have everything for you, but you really have to be proactive about your wellbeing.”
2020 Was My Year
“MHALA was the push I needed — it was everything I needed. In the middle of a pandemic, MHALA got me off the ground.”
