Welcome to mhmraharris.org,
Internet home of the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Authority of Harris (Houston, TX) County!

MHMRA of Harris County is one of the largest mental health centers in the United States, serving more than 30,000 persons in the Houston metropolitan area who suffer from mental illness and mental retardation. We serve the "priority population" - adults who are diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness, children with serious emotional disturbances, and people diagnosed with moderate to severe mental retardation.

The major divisions of the agency are: Adult Mental Health, Mental Retardation, Child & Adolescent Services, and Crisis Services (the NeuroPsychiatric Center). At this site, you can view those divisions' program brochures, read articles in Interface, the agency newspaper, or even check out the employment opportunities at the Human Resources site. You also may contact us about such things as volunteer opportunities, our speakers bureau, or The Furniture Bank.
