As I reflect on 2024, I am both humbled and inspired by the tremendous progress we have made together in advancing the mental health and well-being of all people. This is a consequential moment for mental health, and our mission has never been more urgent. At Mental Health America, we remain committed to ensuring that everyone has access to quality behavioral healthcare—regardless of economic circumstance, where in the U.S. they live, or what they look like. Our comprehensive The strategy to achieve this vision includes direct services, public education, research, advocacy, and public policy. As always, we prioritize community-driven solutions, equitable access to quality care, and a proactive public health approach focused on early intervention and a holistic view of well-being. This year, we embraced innovation with our digital tools and screening program, leveraging AI technology to support peer support for substance use disorders. We expanded our youth programs and advocacy efforts, partnering with the next generation by hosting the first-of--- its-kind summit on social media and mental health, for and led by young leaders. We advanced key policies at the federal and local levels, and achieved numerous other significant milestones. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our partners, donors, Board, and staff. Together, we are building a movement that prioritizes early intervention to address mental health challenges and advances a future focused on whole-person health. MENTAL HEALTH AMERICA As we look ahead to 2025, we remain steadfast in our belief that mental healthcare must be available to all, not a privilege for some. There is still much to do–and I am confident that, with your continued partnership, we can create a future where everyone can access the care and resources they need to thrive. Thank you for being an essential part of this journey. Your dedication fuels our work and gives hope to millions.
