We specialize in mental health awareness and education. Suicide prevention, addiction and at-risk youth rank among our top priorities because these issues affect everyone. Not only those who suffer from a broad range of mental health conditions, but also their families and loved ones.\n\nThe Mental Health Foundation provides a deep wealth of resources to educate, inform, support and engage every member of our community.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
After two years of sourcing our content with the CDC, NIMH and the Mayo Clinic we have designed and launched our website. It’s one of the most comprehensive websites on mental health ever created. Through this website we have also built an interactive social community where individuals can interact with each other and discuss specific topics that range from mental health conditions to addiction. These topics can be discussed between users between one another, along with mental health professionals.
