The Story of the Bell

MHA of the Heartland Bell of Hope Memorial

In honor of those who have passed and to keep in our memories their struggles with living with mental conditions we offer the Bell of Hope Memorial. The Bell of Hope Memorial is a venue where family and friends can celebrate the life of a departed one.

In remembering the struggles of those who have passed, we hope to shed light on the effects of mental illness and to inspire others to assist us in our mission to demand for better treatment and more respect for those living with mental conditions.

Please visit the memorials below.

'Cast from shackles which bound them, this bell shall ring out hope for the mentally ill and victory over mental illness.'
