How you can help

Our message is that mental health is just as important as physical health, and should be treated that way.

We strive for a world where help is accessible for everyone who wants it without stigma. We encourage real discussions, conversations, and education around mental health.

But we can’t do it alone. We need your help. We are a nonprofit and we rely on people like you to help us create this major change. Please help us by volunteering or making a donation.
