Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To drive community solutions promoting mental health. Through innovative collaborations, education, and advocacy, we lead change to promote mental health and prevent mental illness in the Greater Houston region.

Activities or mission (Part I)

See Schedule O. To improve community mental health by removing barriers, providing education, and linking to services.

  • Mental Health America of Greater Houston has been championing mental health in our community since 1954. We work to connect people to quality care, equip communities with education and training, provide peer support for veterans, and advocate for legislative solutions that meet our community's growing needs. In 2025, we served 5,510 unique individuals and had 21,154 total client engagements across our programs. See Schedule OIn 2025, we expanded our behavioral health navigation services, now known as Care Connect, a free, coordinated system that helps individuals find, access, and follow through with mental health care. More than a referral service, Care Connect guides people through the process and stays engaged until they are successfully connected to care. The program includes a database of more than 800 vetted providers offering a wide range of services for individuals and families. This resource can be accessed through an easy-to-use online search tool or by connecting directly with a live Community Resource Specialist via phone, text, or email for personalized support. Through peer support and collaborative partnerships, veterans continue to receive the services needed to reintegrate into civilian life. In 2025, working in collaboration with other veteran-serving organizations, a strong 86% of Veterans Treatment Court participants who were eligible for graduation completed the program requirements. Additionally, our veterans team made more than 4,000 referrals, connecting veterans to services that support their well-being and stability. Our Mental Health Literacy was expanded to offer specialized training to help organizations build cultures where people can perform at their best and feel supported along the way. Our Workplace Wellness training and consultation offerings are guided by a PhD-level expert with certification in mindfulness practices, adapted for organizational settings. In 2025, we delivered 93 mental health education and workplace wellness training sessions, significantly expanding our reach compared to 2024.Our public policy and advocacy efforts through policymaker engagement increased by more than 188% between 2024 and 2025. We also expanded our advocacy training, reaching 79 individuals, and increased participation in presentations on MHA-supported issues to 641 individuals.Our training for child-serving professionals - across schools and community organizations- included 35 presentations supporting adults who work with children. This includes a strong partnership with a statewide intermediary whose mission is to convene, educate, and advocate to improve the quality and increase the availability of out-of-school time opportunities for Texas youth. Through this partnership, we provided training to providers in a variety of programs that support student well-being. In 2025, 10,160 Greater Houston Region residents used Mental Health America's free, online, and anonymous mental health screenings. These screenings provide a direct, real-time measure of mental health and overall well-being in the Greater Houston Region. Upon completing the screening, each person can access tools and other resources to support their mental health.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
