THEIR MISSION
Mental Health Access is a student led 501 (c) (3) certified non-profit organization dedicated to battling the stigma around mental health. This stigma surrounding mental health leads to a sense of shame, contributing to the disproportionate levels of treatments, along with underrepresented studies. In a society where mental health issues are just as common as they are misunderstood, Mental Health Access strives to advocate for the accessibility society is lacking. They do this by creating informative posts detailing misconceptions and why they are untrue, symptoms of several mental health disorders and their risk factors, and treatments.
