About us – The Mental Health Coalition

Login

AB~UT US

Our mission is to build a like-minded community who will work together to destigmatize all mental health conditions by changing the way people talk about, and care for, their mental health.

The Mental Health Coalition was formed with the understanding that the mental health crisis is fueled by a pervasive and devastating stigma, preventing millions of individuals from being able to seek the critical treatment they need.

We imagine a world without judgment. A world where we all understand that everyone is dealing with their own mental health condition. A world where we take care of our mental health as much as our physical health.

We are a coalition of the leading mental health organizations, brands, and individuals who have joined forces to end the stigma surrounding mental health and to change the way people talk about, and care for, mental illness.
