Today, we honor International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day with deep compassion for every person in our community who carries this kind of grief. At MHAGC, we know that loss like this reshapes lives. It can bring questions without answers, memories that feel both heavy and precious, and moments when the world feels a little less steady.

You don’t have to walk through that alone.

Our Survivors of Su***de Loss Support Group meets twice each month to offer understanding, connection, and a space where your story is met with care. If today stirs emotions or you’re simply looking for a place to rest your thoughts, you’re welcome here. Learn more about this group here -->https://www.mhagc.org/survivors-of-su***de-loss/

And if you need someone to talk to right now, call or text 988 or chat via 988sc.org for immediate support.

We’re with you — today and every day

When someone is struggling with thoughts of su***de, knowing what to say, or even how to start the conversation, can feel overwhelming. That’s where QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) comes in. Much like CPR for mental health, QPR teaches everyday people how to recognize warning signs, offer hope, and connect someone to help.
Learn more about the value of QPR and how we at MHAGC offer this life-saving training free to groups and organizations in our community.

🌎💚 Today is World Kindness Day.

Kindness doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful. It can be as simple as checking in with a friend, holding the door and sharing a smile, letting another car go first, or making a donation to a program like Operation Santa Claus.

Every small act sends a ripple of compassion into the world—proof that one moment, one choice, can make a real difference.

Our Story

Mental Health America of Greenville County (MHAGC) is the local chapter of a nationwide, voluntary membership organization dedicated to working for America's mental health and victory over mental illness. MHAGC is affiliated with Mental Health America in South Carolina (MHASC) and Mental Health America (MHA national organization). MHASC was chartered in 1954, and the affiliate in Greenville was founded in 1955. MHAGC is the only broad-based organization in Greenville County dedicated to addressing all aspects of mental health and mental illness. It was formerly named Mental Health Association of Greenville County.

An ongoing focus of MHAGC has been services for clients of the mental health centers in Greenville County beginning with a Christmas gift collection project dating back to the mid 1950s, a socialization group for individuals discharged from the SC State Hospital in the 1970s, weekly programs at a local large community care home in the 1980s and early 1990s, the development and ownership of housing units in the 1990s, and adding the Representative Payee program in 1994.

MHAGC has a unique expertise regarding su***de prevention, intervention, and after-care in our Greenville community through our Crisis Intervention Services (CIS) program, including our Survivors of Su***de support group and closed grief groups. We have been recognized through the certification by the American Association of Suicidology. The CRISISline part of the CIS program was developed in June, 1969. On March 19, 1990, MHAGC assumed management. Over these past 21 years, CRISISline has provided 24/7 service without interruption. This equates to over 183,960 service hours of handling more than 302,500 calls. The line has expanded over the years to cover five counties and handle more than 11,000 calls annually.

After research determined that teens are more likely to talk to their peers, TEENline was opened in 1995. Trained teens complete over 40 hours of training to take TEENline calls and 20 hours of mentoring. In the last several years we had noticed a decline in TEENline calls due to the texting age. In 2011 MHAGC responded by opening a teen crisis chat on the TEENlineSC.org website. Youth are able to chat online with TEENline workers and we anticipate 2013 to bring teen texting.
