The mission of the Mental Health Association in California is to provide advocacy, education, information and other assistance necessary to ensure that all people who require mental health services are able to receive the mental health and other services that they need, and are not denied any other benefits, services, rights, or opportunities based on their need for mental health services.

The Mental Health Associations have a mission that transcends that of being a provider, recipient or a family member of recipients of services. As the so-called "glue" that holds the California Coalition for Mental Health together, the Mental Health Association in California must not only have a strong presence in Sacramento, but also must have a strong presence in every community in California.
