History
- In 2012, The Mental Wellness Awareness Association, Inc. (MWAA) was founded in Pennsylvania by a group of individuals to promote prevention, early intervention, scientific research, and cures for mental health problems across the state. The four programs of the MWAA are Mental Wellness Presentations, Mental Health First Aid Trainings with National Certification, Mental Wellness Research Information, and Mental Health Advance Directives.
- In 2016, the MWAA expanded its reach to a national level to unify individuals and organizations who support prevention, early intervention, scientific research, and cures for mental health problems by creating the American Mental Wellness Association (AMWA).
