Meet our Grantees
Mental Health Association of Middle Tennessee
It wasn't so long ago that "nice people" never talked about mental illness - or mental health, for that matter.
The President of The HF, Ruth Ann Harnisch, has been involved with this organization for over 30 years and is currently a member of the Advisory Board.
Since 1998, The HF has been supporting programs of MHA which help people affected by the challenges presented by mental disorders, Alzheimer’s Disease and childhood emotional problems. This organization helped to shape the culture, focusing public attention on previously taboo subjects, as well as reinforcing the connection between mental health and physical health. That this is now a widely accepted concept is a testament to the success of MHAMT and other similarly-purposed organizations. It inspired us as we seek to change other societal attitudes.
