Meet Our
Partners
No single organization possesses all the resources or expertise necessary to drive significant change on its own. To make a meaningful and lasting impact, collaboration is essential. This is why our partnerships play a crucial role in our mission. By leveraging the specialized knowledge, skills, and resources of various organizations, we can enhance the operational effectiveness of the Umenty Foundation in ways that would be impossible independently.
These collaborative efforts are not merely beneficial; they are integral to our success across all areas of our work. Together, we form a powerful network of allies dedicated to fostering transformative change and addressing the complex challenges we face.
Our Platform Partners
Many teens and young adults today are struggling with their mental health. According to CDC data, about 42% of high school students reported feeling very sad or hopeless, and 22% seriously considered attempting suicide. Unfortunately, accessing mental health support is not easy for many teens and young adults. School/college counselors are often overwhelmed, therapy can be financially out of reach for many, and even those who can afford it may face months-long wait lists due to a nationwide shortage of therapists.
Schools, colleges, and communities can play a crucial role in improving youth mental health by providing high-quality support that is accessible to all. Offering therapy and well-being resources at no cost can not only assist those who are experiencing mental health challenges but also help the wider population build mental strength and resilience, potentially preventing future issues from arising.
