Why Our Work Matters
The APA Foundation creates mental health literacy,
connects underserved communities to the mental health
care they need, and changes behaviors and attitudes
toward mental health. Through our programs and grant
opportunities, we are working towards a mentally healthy
nation for all where you live, learn, work, worship, and play.
Despite best eforts, unmet mental health care needs
continue to grow at an alarming rate. To help meet
this moment, APAF launched the Mental Health
Care Works Campaign in 2023. The campaign’s bold
vision is to shift public perception, so we begin to
prioritize mental health in the same way that we
prioritize physical health. Our reach to date exceeds
166M impressions through paid, earned, social, and
owned media channels, as well as through a national
public service announcement campaign, as follows:
