mental health of parents and children.

WHY WE EXIST.

We are in a family mental health crisis. Parents and children are struggling to
get the help they need, especially in under-resourced communities. Poor mental
health in parents negatively affects their children and the reverse is also
true.

With access to quality care, parents and children can thrive. We exist to find
and advance solutions in family mental health.

20%

of mothers in the US–1 in 2 moms on Medicaid–have a maternal mental health
disorder, and 85% do not receive care.

1 in 5

youth in the US have a mental health disorder, and 50% never receive treatment.

OUR APPROACH.

As a 501c3, we raise funds from donors who share our commitment and vision to
elevate family mental health. Returns from our portfolio will be reinvested to
support emerging opportunities and to sustain our fund.


SOURCE.

We source organizations focused on family mental health–serving children and/or
their caregivers. We look for dedicated, promising entrepreneurs, often with
lived experience, who have secured early market traction and developed viable
strategies for meaningful impact and nationwide scale.


INVEST.

We invest in early-stage organizations (for-profit and nonprofit) and provide
1:1 coaching as well as access to networks of best-in-class talent and
resources.


CATALYZE.

We catalyze advancement in the family mental health field by convening
visionary, interdisciplinary leaders to put family mental health on the map and
tackle systemic barriers to progress.
