We’re excited to share that Mental Health America of Spartanburg County is featured in the September 2026 issue of Spartanburg Living!
In “Breaking Stigma, Building Support: The Heart and Mission of Mental Health America of Spartanburg County,” Executive Director Lisa Pappas shares a closer look at who we are, how our organization has grown, and the people and programs helping us build a healthier, more compassionate Spartanburg.
The feature highlights our commitment to education, advocacy, community connection, and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health. Readers can learn more about our Educational Series, Annual Mental Health Symposium, Be Kind To Your Mind celebration, community outreach, award recipients, and our growing efforts to include youth voices in MHA Spartanburg’s leadership and programming.
The article also celebrates the people behind our mission — our board members, community advocates, partners, volunteers, and supporters who make this work possible.
Our work is strengthened by the support of our community. Whether you attend an event, volunteer, donate, partner with us, or simply help start conversations about mental health, you are helping create a Spartanburg where mental wellness is valued and seeking help is supported.
