A Brief History of BMHA
In 1984, the co-founders of BMHA gathered, namely Dr. Maxie Collier, Delegate Shirley Nathan- Pulliam and other public/mental health professionals to discuss the disparities that exist as it relates to African Americans and mental health- specifically the growing misdiagnosis of schizophrenia and inappropriate mental health treatment due to the lack of cultural competency.  After a series of discussions and planning efforts- BMHA was born.  Since that time, the organization has developed into a broad array of programs including school based mental health services, HIV/AIDS programming, referrals to mental health providers, smoking cessation services, community education, consultation and training.
