CHC: Creating Healthier Communities
Support Mental Health Equity Fund
CHC: Creating Healthier Communities and the Steve Fund recently announced a new partnership to promote equity and address the country’s mental health crisis.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, mental health challenges are the leading cause of disability and poor life outcomes in young people. Unfortunately, in recent years, the country has seen significant increases in mental health disorders in youth.
To raise awareness and resources for mental health equity, CHC will include the Steve Fund as a national workplace giving partner in hundreds of campaigns, create a customized “Mental Health Equity” cause fund to build capacity for organizations providing youth mental health equity services, and promote mental health equity to its network of thousands of private and public sector partners.
We're taking action. Join us.
“We are losing far too many of our young people, especially those representing Black and Brown communities, due to limited awareness and lack of tailored responses to address their specific needs, issues and concerns. The Steve Fund provides mental health resources and research to support both institutions and young people of color themselves.”
-Valerie Rochester, chief health equity officer at CHC
