Who
We Are and Our Mission
RMHA is an
award-winning, not-for-profit agency providing low-cost mental health
treatment and social services to approximately 2,000 individuals living
in the Northwest Bronx, Upper Manhattan and Westchester County. RMHA
was founded by local leaders in 1959 in response to the overwhelming
perceived need for community mental health care in the area.
It is our mission
to serve families and individuals of all walks of life, to alleviate the
suffering of those with mental health disabilities, substance dependency
and other isolating conditions and to bring greater fulfillment to the
Community.
Celebrating
50 Years Now celebrating 50
years, RMHA continues to thrive on the principles on which it was built,
quality and affordability, promoting community involvement and
enthusiasm through local partnerships and collaborative programming. We
maintain formal links with other Bronx and citywide mental health,
substance abuse and social service agencies including the Coalition for
Behavioral Health (formerly the Coalition for Voluntary Mental Health)
and the Bronx Behavioral Network, where our Executive Director, Robert
Brewster, currently serves as President.
Our
Services Our clinic and
social service programs serve the entire lifespan, from infancy to
senior living. We provide individual treatment and group treatment
options for children and adults and promote evidence-based treatments.
We encourage a multiplicity of services for clients, to increase the
efficacy of treatment and to increase client investment and
connectedness to treatment.
