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 we live, learn, work, worship, and play.
While a cultural shift is underway and more Americans
are opening up and talking about their mental health care
needs, there is still much work to do. To address this need,
APAF launched the Mental Health Care Works campaign
in 2023 and continued to expand its reach exponentially
in 2024. The campaign's focus continues to be shifting
public perception so that Americans begin to prioritize
mental health the way they prioritize physical health.
