Finding mental health care is harder than it should be. And for nearly 30 million people across the country, it’s not just hard — it’s impossible.
Behind that number, real lives are quietly unraveling: A mom refreshing her inbox, hoping today is the day a therapist has an opening for her son. A teenager in a rural community with nowhere to turn after local clinics have closed their doors. An older adult wrestling with substance use alone, convinced there are no options left.
When we talk about a “mental health crisis,” we’re talking about people. Not headlines. Not statistics. Human beings who deserve help, dignity and hope.
And right now, far too many aren’t getting that.
A Different Kind of Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is often described as a day to “give back,” but it can be something more. It can be a day to give someone a chance.
A chance to talk to a trained professional instead of navigating a crisis alone. A chance for a young person to learn the skills to support a friend. A chance for a clinic to hire one more provider and treat 10 more people each week.
When you support the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, you make these chances possible. Your support fuels programs that connect individuals to care, strengthen the behavioral health workforce and build healthier communities nationwide.
Every donation helps us:
- Expand services in communities with the greatest need.
- Train the next generation of mental health professionals.
- Bring vital support to schools, workplaces and neighborhoods.
- Reduce stigma so more people feel safe seeking support.
- Create more resilient communities where no one is left behind.
These aren’t aspirations. They are daily realities shaped by people who choose to give back. Actions made possible by the generosity of people like you.
If You’ve Ever Wondered, “What Can I Do?” This Is It
