The Mental Health Association of Westchester (MHA) is pleased to announce that Break The Hold (BTH), an initiative established by the Halloran family of Pleasantville, has become a program under the agency’s umbrella.

The Halloran family formed BTH in honor of their late son, Brian Thomas Halloran, who died by suicide in 2018 at the age of 19. BTH’s mission is to “break the hold” on mental health issues by educating, advocating and raising awareness about depression and its effects in schools and communities.

The Mental Health Association of Westchester (MHA) is excited to announce an award of nearly $4 million over the next two years from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This federal grant will enable MHA to develop new services and enhance existing support for uninsured and underinsured individuals in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties.

The question "How can we help?" has driven our work for more than 70 years. Each day, it is asked by therapists in our clinics, social workers serving children in the community and supportive housing and employment specialists. We believe that making a difference begins with this simple question.

Recently, we have been listening to the stories, struggles and hopes of veterans in our community and asking them "How can we help?"

We are pleased to announce that MHA’s Benita Marks was recently inducted into the Westchester Senior Citizens Hall of Fame!
