The PMHA Story

The idea of organizing a mental health movement was initiated by Dr. Edward E. Krapf, a World Health Organization consultant, during a meeting among civic leaders to assess the mental health problems in the country brought about by World War II. In January 15, 1950, the Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA) was formally organized with Dr. Manuel Arguelles as its first President. The Association focused on providing mental health services through the Child Guidance Clinic and educational programs on mental health among college students. The office of the Association was then located at the Methodist Social Center in Sampaloc, Manila. In 1958, it moved to its present home at # 18 East Avenue, Quezon City.

The Association has expanded its educational programs by organizing mental health seminar workshops and leadership training among the youth. Today, PMHA has organized mental health clubs in the different public high schools and private colleges and universities all over the country. Since 1951, it has continued to lead the celebration of National Mental Health Week and World Mental Health Day every 2nd week of October.

In 1960, the Association expanded its out-patient clinical services to accommodate the needs of the adult mentally ill, emotionally disturbed individuals and their families. The Clinical and Diagnostic Services now provides neuro-psychiatric and psychological testing services and other mental health services to all sectors of society.
