ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION OF SAN FRANCISCO (MHASF):

For over 70 years, MHASF has embodied the progressive ideals San Francisco is known for. We have advocated against stigma and discrimination in mental health across diverse communities, and changed and challenged policy, perception, and ultimately people. As a peer-run organization, we know that systems change comes when those affected by the issues are centered on the solutions. Most of our mental health support programs are staffed by people with personal lived experience of mental health challenges—peers—who use their expertise in their recovery to build trust, self-confidence, and hope with those seeking support. Looking ahead to a future of mental healthcare focused on holistic, person-centered, and recovery-oriented services, MHASF is working to ensure that peer providers are an integral part of these emerging mental health systems.
