970 million people have mental health problems in the US.
70% of people struggling with mental health issues will receive no treatment due to lack of resources, trained health care workers, and mental health stigma
AND
Mental health issues among communities continue to rise, and with a lack of information and resources becoming more limited, the crisis continues to skyrocket. This nonprofit was founded in order to help provide free mental health resources to all those in need. Just because one's insurance may not cover necessary rehabilitation does not mean that one should struggle with mental illness.
Mission
At our core, we believe that everyone deserves access to mental health resources, regardless of their insurance status. Our mission is to provide as many people as possible with the and support they need to prioritize their mental health. We're committed to breaking down the stigma surrounding seeking help and creating a safe, welcoming space for all.
Vision
At HelpMynd, we strongly believe in the importance of mental health and well-being. Our vision is to collaborate with mental health services to ensure that all patients at and private practices have access to the resources they need to get the help need. We also aim to host events to raise money for mental health and create awareness about the of mental health in community.
Our Team.

Abigail is a 17 year old rising senior at Pinewood School. She's passionate about Computer Science, STEM, and literature. Abigail was interning at a medical practice, and she realized that the majority of patients that needed mental health help didn't know where to go and couldn't afford it. So, in November 2023, Abigail started HelpMynd to work to spread mental health awareness for others. In her free time, Abigail loves reading, listening to music, and spending time with friends.
