Description
America's first citizen mental health movement began in 1908 when Clifford Beers, a former mental patient, founded the precursor of the National Mental Health Association.
On March 26, 1946 in Sacramento's City Hall, 63 people gathered to form a local Society for Mental Hygiene. Led by Dr. Daniel J. Sullivan, an Auburn psychiatrist, Reverend Thomas Markham, and Miss Dorothy Brown, the group was concerned about inhumane conditions in mental facilities.
Ten years later we became an official chapter of the National Mental Health Association of Sacramento and currently provide a range of services supported by funds from United Way, local, state, federal and private grants, membership dues, donations, fees for services and fund raisers.
