Whether it be helping folks seeking out services/resources, educating our children about important mental health issues, or sharing knowledge and tools for better mental health to the public, Mental Health America of Putnam County is here to serve you. Started in 1954 as the National Association of Mental Health, we've seen our name change from Mental Health Association to the national title of Me

ntal Health America. For many years, we were affiliated through Mental Health America of Indiana. In 2016, however, we applied and were officially granted affiliation directly with the national organization. MHAoPC provides the following programs for the members of the Putnam County Community:

Helping Children/Co-Parenting (HCCP) - a program designed to assist parents and children offset potential negative impacts of separation by showing them how to develop and maintain healthy relationships. MHAoPC "Puppet Power" Program - an educational puppet program offered in all County schools from pre-school to fifth grade. The program puppeteers are students from the local middle and high schools who work closely with school counselors and perform different programs for each grade level. The subjects covered by the programs are child abuse prevention, children's body rights, self-confidence, tobacco education, incorrect prescription drug use, strategies on coping with bullying behavior, and child safety geared to pre-school and kindergarten students. This program is also offered to non-school organizations, such as scouts and church groups. Puppet Power has been in place for more than 10 years and the concept of children reaching children has been very successful.

June is PTSD Awareness Month, a time to shed light on the invisible wounds many carry. Trauma doesn’t always look the same. It can stem from a life-threatening event or simply from an overwhelming experience that shakes your sense of safety.

If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or emotionally drained long after a distressing event, you’re not alone — and support is available. Take a free, anonymous mental health screening today at screening.mhanational.org!

Clothe-a-Child - a program designed to help raise the self-esteem of school aged children in need by supplying new clothing for school and play. Children are identified and referred to MHAPC by school and mental health counselors and other county agencies.
