This Mental Health Awareness Month help build a future where everyone can experience mental well-being by supporting Americares.
The demand for mental health services is on the rise. The effects of climate change, forced migration and ongoing barriers to access for marginalized communities are compounding, making mental health one of the world’s most pressing issues. At Americares, we recognize that mental health is an integral part of lasting well-being, and we firmly believe that access to mental health support is fundamental to the human right to health.
Your support will help Americares broaden its mental health services worldwide, focusing on primary care integration and health worker training.
With a history of global outreach, we’ve been at the forefront of providing whole human health care to those who need it most, both in and out of emergencies. Our efforts extend beyond physical health to encompass mental resilience, as we offer psychosocial and psychological support that stems from culturally-sensitive, sustainable, and evidence-based techniques.
Americares supplies millions of dollars-worth of mental and behavioral health medicines and supplies to partners in dozens of countries. In Ukraine we have provided mental health services to refugees, including counseling and suicide hotline assistance. We supported health workers and clinic patients emotionally affected by Hurricane Ian in Florida; conducted mental health and psychosocial support training sessions in Lebanon, Puerto Rico, and several other locations, benefiting hundreds of health workers; and provided mental health services as part of primary care for highly vulnerable communities in Colombia, El Salvador and India.
Mental health is not just a priority, but a right for all.
