What we aim to solve
The need to assist college students living with psychosis is not a niche topic. The National Institute of Mental Health Supporting college students with psychosis is vital. The National Institute of Mental Health reveals 3/100 people will experience psychosis, and about 100,000 US adolescents and young adults face it yearly [1]. The onset coincides with college age (15-25) per the Child Mind Institute [2], aligning with the prevalent age group (18-24) in US colleges as per The Hamilton Project [3]. Given the potential life impact of a degree, indicated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ data showing higher earnings and lower unemployment for degree holders [4], tailored solutions for such students are critical.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Students With Psychosis aims to expand mental health/brain health advocacy at the college level to ensure psychosis representation, including a global perspective. Too often is psychosis left out of the mental health/brain health conversation on college campuses, and our narrative is also often limited, excluding intersectional community members.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our primary objectives include: (1) growing and connecting our virtual and in-person programs, (2) organizing outreach initiatives, and (3) founding in-person college clubs/affiliates/hubs.

Revenue vs. expenses: breakdown
Financial data
Students With Schizophrenia
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
