About MHA

MHA – Mental Health Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people live their best life. We provide a wide range of services across Western Massachusetts, including outpatient therapy, substance use recovery, supports for individuals with developmental disabilities or brain injuries, and residential and housing programs. MHA serves individuals impacted by mental illness, substance use, developmental disabilities, brain injuries, and homelessness. Our mission is rooted in inclusion, dignity, and empowering people to lead fulfilling, independent lives.

About the Division of Recovery Services (DRS)

MHA’s Division of Recovery Services (DRS) supports individuals of all ages who are navigating mental health and substance use challenges. Our youth residential programs serve adolescents involved with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) who are working through behavioral health needs in a safe, structured environment.

DRS also provides residential and outreach support for adults in recovery or currently living with addiction, many of whom may also experience co-occurring mental health concerns. Through compassionate, trauma-informed care, we help individuals build coping skills, restore stability, and work toward long-term recovery and wellness.

  • Serve as a trusted advocate for the individuals you support—helping them navigate challenges, access services, and build confidence.
  • Assist in preparing for and participating in formal and informal meetings such as treatment planning, job interviews, and social services.
  • Support individuals through key transitions, including program entry, graduation, and post-program steps.
  • Connect individuals to community resources, events, and peer-run groups that align with their goals and interests.
  • Plan and coordinate activities that foster social interaction, skill development, and a sense of belonging within the broader community.
  • Maintain accurate and timely records including progress notes, data entry, and any required reporting per agency and regulatory guidelines.
