With rates of mental health and substance use challenges skyrocketing, we all need to step up.

“The only time they really did treat him for the mental health issues was in jail. He spent three months in the jail just getting stable for his bipolar disorder, which is really telling since he had spent all these years in treatment for substance use.”

- A mom and recovery advocate

Mental health and substance use – one cannot be addressed without considering the other. And the statistics on both issues are at crisis level:

- More than 20 million families are impacted by addiction with more than 100,000 people dying from overdoses last year.
- The rates of mental health challenges among young people are soaring, with 1 in 4 teens being diagnosed with a mental health disorder.

It’s critical that we address these enormous and urgent challenges immediately. That’s why this May – Mental Health Awareness Month – we’re launching a yearlong fundraising drive to ensure families have access to life-saving support services, personalized coaching, and comprehensive research-backed educational resources.

We can’t let so many families struggle alone.
