About Us

Established in 1946, the Mental Health Association of Central Florida (MHACF) is one of the oldest nonprofits in Central Florida and is the leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to addressing the needs of those living with mental illness and promoting the overall mental health of all.


We provide a wide range of services, which include complimentary resources and professional referrals from our database of over 3000 providers through our Mental Health Connections program, free mental health services at our Outlook Clinic, the only free mental health clinic in the state of Florida, for qualified individuals, and hosting Peer Support Recovery and Guardian Advocate services.   

OUR MISSION

“To provide mental health services, support and information to the members of our Central Florida community.”

Our Equity Statement

The Mental Health Association of Central Florida (MHACF) understands that violence, racism, hate, and discrimination undermine mental wellness and are significant contributors to individual and community trauma. Therefore, we are committed to breaking cycles of multi-generational distress for marginalized communities in all that we do by pledging to work against racism, bias, prejudice and discrimination at individual, interpersonal, and institutional levels.
