Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Many people with mental health and addiction issues struggle to get the help they need because they don't know what is available, have trouble with insurance, have personal issues, unstable living conditions, or other barriers. They feel hopeless, frustrated, or worse because they can't see a way to change their situation for the better, leaving them trapped in poverty and dangerous situations.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Peer Coaching
Individual coaching services to help persons with mental health and/or substance use issues navigate connections to clinical services and other needs on the path to recovery.
Self-help Groups
We offer various groups for self-help ranging from AA to cooking to meditation.
Occupational Peer Empowerment Network
This program is aimed at helping individuals conquer the barriers to attaining and retaining employment.
Overdose Response
In cooperation with area law enforcement and emergency response teams, we collect contact information from incidents reported to the Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program and connect with individuals who have recently experienced an overdose and their families to offer information and connection to services to help prevent another overdose event.
Jail Outreach
Our coaches visit with incarcerated individuals to help them prepare for their release including connections to housing, clinical services, rehab, employment, and more to help them avoid returning to the situations that got them there.
Strong Starts
As a partner with Strong Starts Chautauqua, our coaches focus on supporting mothers who have had a history of substance use in preparing for the birth and accessing resources for the health of their child and any long-term effects of their use.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
It is the mission of the Mental Health Association in Chautauqua County to provide guidance, support, and advocacy to individuals facing the challenges of mental illness and addiction in our community.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We meet people where they are in their recovery, providing harm reduction, connection to other agencies and resources, and support in building their lives to their own goals. We maintain connections with various departments of the hospital and government and private agencies to improve their ability to serve and support our participants. We have formed special projects in collaboration with other agencies and services for specific needs such as overdose response and supporting at-risk pregnancies.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Not being bound by a participant's ability to pay allows us to help those most in need. We use our connections with the hospital, police and sheriff, rehab centers, local doctors, health department, and more to find the support our participants need to succeed in their goals.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have established ourselves throughout Chautauqua County as a support agency, getting referrals from clinical sources as well as other participants. We have helped many individuals meet their goals and establish sustainable lives. We will continue to reach out to people in need and to find new ways to help them.
