Mental Health America of California is a statewide nonprofit focused on advocacy and education in mental health care. Based in Sacramento, California, it seeks to ensure that people of diverse ages, sexual orientations, gender identities, and ethnic backgrounds receive the mental health services and supports they need, and are not denied other benefits or opportunities due to a mental health need. It advances its mission by coordinating statewide coalitions and providing advocacy and education to inform state decisions in Sacramento and communities across the state. The organization supports prevention and early intervention, addresses disparities, and works to improve insurance coverage and access to needed services. It also educates Californians about mental illness and the effectiveness of treatment to reduce stigma and support a system oriented toward timely help.
