The Mental Health Association of Central Florida has FREE resources to help you and your baby grow both physically and mentally! 👶🍼

Being a caregiver for a newborn can sometimes be a stressful event in your life, so we're here to help with our Baby Bag of Mental Wellness Guide, which is packed full of mental wellness information you can use to track you and your baby's mental milestones.

This page from our guide highlights mental wellness strategies for new caregivers that are experiencing stress in their new role. This “new normal” can take some time to navigate, so be gentle with yourself. The emotional rollercoaster is real — but it is also manageable with awareness, self-compassion, and support.

It’s National Philanthropy Day! 😊 This day is dedicated to philanthropy's important role in societal change from the differences we’ve made, the changes we’re making, and the changes that are yet to come.

The MHACF and our team is dedicated to making mental healthcare accessible and easy to find in our community. Every year, thousands of our neighbors are able to receive treatment and support that they otherwise may have never received.

In 2024-25 our Outlook clinic impacted the community in multiple ways:

💚 5,354 free patient visits and psychiatric services were provided to the uninsured

💚 1,142 uninsured patients provided mental health and medication services

💚 16,429 hours of service was given by our clinical volunteers

💚 $719,432 is the total value of in-kind clinical volunteer services

This week, we are celebrating ! 🏳️‍⚧️

We are proud to support our transgender and nonbinary friends, family members and neighbors, this and every week. Weeks like this help drown out transphobia with love and acceptance and show trans community members that they are supported!

Unfortunately, for victims of transphobia, mental health services can often be less accessible for a variety of reasons. We are changing that by helping make mental health services more accessible to ALL in our community, regardless of gender identity or expression. 🫂

Our Story- Mental Health Association of Central Florida

Mental Health Association of Central Florida was founded in 1946. We have been serving the Central Florida community since then by advocating for Central Florida’s citizens’ mental health. We provide support groups, mental health programs, and mental health resources to our community members. Our programs and groups include:

Reflections: Provides Arrows, a Su***de-Affected support group, a Suicidal Ideation support group, and People Inc, a peer-facilitated mental health support group that has met weekly for over 40 years. Reflections orchestrates our annual Art of Happiness show, in which art from local artists is submitted under a mental health theme, prompting reflection in the viewer and artist. Numerous Introduction to WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) workshops are held by our Reflections program every year.

Mental Health Connections: Mental Health Connections provides Central Florida residents with mental health resources, and helps navigate a client’s needs in times of crisis. Our Connection Specialists will be able to find the resources you need, according to your unique and specific needs.

Guardian Advocate: Being a Guardian Advocate volunteer means helping someone at one of their times of greatest need. Guardian Advocates are granted temporary guardianship of those who are Baker Acted, and help advocate for their best care while inpatient.
