Our Mission

We work to ensure the mental health of the Dubuque community through education, advocacy and collaboration.

Welcome to MHA of Dubuque County

Whether or not we have a mental illness or know someone who has experienced such a problem we all have mental health. We may not think much about mental health or even use the phrase but it’s a common element in all our lives. Some of us call it a state of mind , being content, or feeling good about yourself. Mental health is perhaps best explained as how we cope with daily life and the challenges it brings. When our mental health is good we can deal better with what comes our way.
