Dear Mental Health Professionals of Southwest Florida,

Once again it is time for our annual Professional Membership Drive.  Whether you are in private practice, part of a group, or an agency we believe you will find your membership in MHASWFL to be a professional asset. We currently maintain the strong support of many members of the professional mental health community and look forward to being able to support you in the achievement of your professional goals, as well.

We have made great strides over the past year to improve our referral network, web site information, and our E Newsletter.  Our programs have been revised to be community and time sensitive, building our community membership with a 200% increase in 2009. Community Outreach efforts to promote Mental Wellness have doubled this year, with plans for increasing our advocacy and educational initiatives in the upcoming months.

The MHASWFL hopes you will join us in our ongoing commitment to Mental Health. We rely on your support to achieve our mission to provide broad based programs of education, prevention, advocacy, information and referral, client services, community services and social action.  Membership is your “vote” for the work of the Mental Health Association of SWFL.  Our Members are our Most Valuable Partners in fulfilling our mission knowing your sponsorship helps support our work right here in our community.

We have enclosed the Membership Application. The annual membership is $150 for licensed professionals and $75 for interns. If you would like a complimentary half page listing in our Professional Directory 2010, available in print and on line, please fill out the Directory Form, if not you will be listed as a supporting member. Refer to our web-site www.mhaswfl.org for current listings. The MHASWFL is a 501c3 charitable organization, thus your contribution is tax-deductible.
Please make your check payable to MHASWFL, Visa & Master Card accepted by phone.
The Mental Health Association would like to THANK YOU in advance for participating in this very important service to our community.  If you have any questions about professional membership or other services, please contact Petra Jones, Executive Director or a member of our staff.
