Supporting Mental Health

Providing mental health support to the most vulnerable members of our communities

Everyone has mental health, but social stigma and lack of access to care prevent millions from getting the support they need to thrive.

That’s why United Way partners with healthcare providers, educators, and grassroots leaders to create more equitable, compassionate mental health support systems. From peer connection programs to crisis care and trauma-informed resources, we're ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to be well—no matter where they live or what they’ve been through. 

By The Numbers

Mental health is essential for personal well-being and community resilience. United Way is expanding access to mental health support—because everyone deserves to feel safe, connected, and heard.
