The Massachusetts Association for Mental Health is a Boston-based public policy and legislative advocacy organization with a century-long history. Its mission is to advance mental health and well-being by promoting prevention, early intervention, effective treatment, and research addressing social, emotional, and mental health challenges. It seeks to reduce stigma and discrimination and to foster inclusion across social, economic, and political aspects of community life. The organization serves policymakers, service providers, and community stakeholders seeking improvements in mental health care and supports. It operates within the public policy arena rather than delivering direct clinical services and is based in Boston. In 2021, it engaged in collaboration with Mass General Brigham to develop and implement a pediatric behavioral health urgent care services program, and former Congressman Joseph Kennedy III joined its Board of Directors.
