“In the U.S., the annual economic, indirect cost of mental illnesses is estimated to be at least $79 billion. Most of that amount – approximately $63 billion – reflects the cost of lost productivity. Mental illness causes more days of work loss and work impairment than chronic health conditions such as diabetes, asthma, arthritis, back pain, hypertension, and heart disease.”

Two important challenges for many communities are preventing homelessness and preventing injuries and fatalities to civilians and law enforcement officers. The Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania has shown leadership in confronting these challenges, as well as in promoting recovery from mental health issues and helping individuals who face such challenges live successfully in the community.

Information and Referral staff respond to questions from callers seeking information about services or other behavioral health issues.

Training and Education Center (TEC) strives to promote hope and recovery for people with mental illness by providing training and education programs in a culturally competent manner to family members/service providers to help them facilitate a recovery process in themselves and their loved ones or clients.
