Program Information Founded in 1939, Mental Health Minnesota was the state???s first mental health advocacy and education organization. We listen to the needs of community members, respond to those needs, and work to make positive changes in the lives of individuals and in public policy. Our deep concerns about stigma, discrimination, inadequate services, and other challenges have shaped our goals, programs, and results. Our vision is improved lives for people with mental illness.
