Mental Health America is dedicated to promoting mental health, preventing mental disorders and achieving victory over mental illnesses through advocacy, education, research and service. Mental Health America's public education programs are an integral and vital part of its mission, strategic thinking and planning.

Mental Health America's national public education programs help to raise awareness among various audiences about mental health issues and eliminate stigma and other obstacles that prevent people from seeking the help they need. Mental Health America's affiliate network implements these programs and provides the grassroots and broad-based coalition building essential to informing and educating a diverse public audience about mental health and mental illnesses.

One of Mental Health America's most broad-based campaigns is the Campaign for America's Mental Health. The Campaign for America's Mental Health is a public-education and primary-care-outreach program that works nationally and locally to raise awareness that mental illnesses are real, common and treatable and to ensure that people most at-risk for depression and anxiety disorders receive proper, timely and effective treatment. The Campaign for America's Mental Health builds upon the success of a long-standing initiative, the Campaign on Clinical Depression, which has over the past decade educated millions about depression and helped hundreds of thousands seek needed treatment and resume productive, fulfilling lives.
