About Us
Promoting Wellness In Our Community
For more than 40 years, Alliance has been serving the mental health needs of the Memphis community and beyond. As we’ve grown, our mission hasn’t changed. We're still building wellness in our community – one person, one family at a time.
We love our city, the special people who live here and most of all, we love helping those when they need it most.
Our not-for-profit organization is the largest comprehensive behavioral health provider in Shelby County. We offer outpatient, intensive outpatient, home-based, and community based programs, including a continuum of crisis services to more than 22,000 residents of Shelby County and the surrounding areas.
