Mental Health America Fredericksburg Region

Founded in 1955 by local citizens, Mental Health America Fredericksburg Region (MHAfred) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 charitable organization addressing all aspects of mental health and mental health challenges.

Serving Planning District 16 (Caroline, Fredericksburg, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford) for over six decades, MHAfred exists to improve the lives of people with mental health challenges by providing advocacy, education and services that improve access to quality mental health treatment and services, particularly for vulnerable populations like the uninsured and elderly. Every year nearly 5000 people contact MHAfred seeking help and asking, “where do I turn?” Our job is to help them find that help so they can enjoy fulfilling, productive lives at home and at work.

As a catalyst for enhanced access to mental health treatment and services, MHAfred identifies emerging trends and unmet needs through its MHAfred HELPLINE Provider Resource, builds coalitions to address gaps in services, and advocates to secure funding streams for “incubator” programs created collaboratively to serve unmet needs.
