We are the American Psychiatric Association Foundation, and we believe
There is no health without mental health.
Who we are
Taking the first step in a mental health care journey can be difficult.
We are here to bridge the gap between wanting help and finding it. Our mission is to promote and empower the mental health and wellbeing of individuals and communities by:
Training school staff to support students with mental health concerns
Improving access to mental health care in the workplace
Addressing the overcriminalization of mental illness
Building bridges to care within faith communities
Elevating accessible pathways to healthy play onstage and on the field
What we do
At the American Psychiatric Association Foundation, we support our communities through programs, fellowships, awards, and grants that help direct resources where they’re needed most. We also work to raise awareness about mental wellness at schools, workplaces, the government, and community organizations.
