Welcome

The Foundation for Mental Health was founded in 1999 as a non-profit corporation dedicated to easing the isolation and eliminating the stigma often felt by people who suffer with psychiatric disabilities, enabling them to lead lives of dignity. As the first public charity of its kind in the country, the Foundation advocates on mental health issues and works to improve public access to services. Our mission is to raise money for programs that help people with mental illness achieve healthy, independent lives within their communities. Through the generosity of individuals, corporations and private foundations, our initiatives include community education, building one-to-one relationships and providing a roadmap for access to treatment for the nearly 50 million Americans affected by mental illness.
