MENTAL HEALTH

The Impact of Mental Health Charities on Wellness Worldwide

Emotional and mental well-being sits at the core of almost everything we do. Without it, our relationships, productivity levels, and physical health suffer. Mental health organizations create organic avenues for peer support, mental health research, and access to qualified providers. Their work allows people to receive the care, education, and funding they need to overcome their mental disorders and live their fullest lives.

• Project HEAL

  Project HEAL is on a mission to create a world where everyone with an eating disorder has the opportunities and resources they need to recover. As the only major nonprofit in the U.S. focused on creating equitable treatment access for all people with eating disorders, they stand firmly behind their belief that treatment is a right, not a privilege.

  Their programs break down systemic, healthcare, and financial barriers that millions of people in the U.S. face when trying to heal from their eating disorders.

  This nonprofit offers support through four main pathways:

  • Clinical assessment
  • Insurance navigation
  • Treatment placement
  • Cash assistance

  In addition, the mental health nonprofit has partnered with EAT Lab at the University of Louisville. This partnership allows the organization to anchor its efforts to reform the eating disorder treatment landscape and influence future policy and legal changes within the healthcare system to ensure equitable healthcare access for all.
