TMHA Mission Statement: A nonprofit organization serving San Luis Obispo and North Santa Barbara Counties, TMHA is dedicated to eliminating stigma and promoting recovery and wellness for people with mental illness through work, housing, community and family support services. Our history was born from what became the San Luis Obispo Mental Health Association - formerly known as the San Luis Obispo Mental Hygiene Society - and its partnership with the County of SLO. Thanks to a 1979 document titled "The Model for California Community Mental Health Programs," our state had enough evidence to emphasize the importance of quality mental health care, community participation, attention to rural and minority populations, and resources without barriers. From acute and emergency care to case management and outreach services, The California Model inspired state grants to incorporate a wider range of mental health care to all consumers at different stages of recovery. 25 counties ultimately received grants to establish these programs. San Luis Obispo was one of them.

Our vision is that every child in foster care feel important, cared for, and deeply loved. We firmly believe the well-being of these 400,000+ traumatized children improves when communities make an intentional effort to better understand and address the significant, emotional pain of the children in their midst. Our mission is to find and develop child advocates who care deeply about the emotional well-being of children living in foster care, provide these individuals and organizations innovative, "great ideas" that address the children's concerns, and measure the impact on each child. Finally, we invite advocates into a larger, national network for mutual learning and policy development.

Our mission is to raise funds and provide grants to non-profit organizations and programs which assist, educate, counsel and comfort children and families after a loved one's death; to help educate bereavement, healthcare, social service, education, criminal justice, business and other professionals and especially society to the needs of the bereaved; to promote the conferences, seminars and other work of these organizations.
