Our Mission

At Changing Mental Health, we are driven by a singular purpose – to ensure that every individual in San Francisco, regardless of their insurance status or financial situation, has access to compassionate, effective, and timely mental health care. As a nonprofit dedicated to breaking down systemic barriers, we advocate for policy reform, provide direct support, and empower communities to embrace mental health with confidence.

Our Core Objectives

We strive to transform the mental health landscape through a multifaceted approach that addresses both immediate needs and long-term systemic change. Our mission is rooted in equity, compassion, and action.

Advocacy

Influencing policy changes to improve access to quality mental health services, particularly for those reliant on government insurance.

Direct Support

Connecting San Franciscans with affordable, high-quality mental health resources and providers who prioritize underserved communities.

Community Empowerment

Educating and partnering with communities to reduce stigma and advocate for mental health needs through outreach and workshops.

Our Vision

We envision a world where mental health care is a fundamental right, not a privilege. No one should face delays, inadequate care, or exclusion due to their circumstances. By addressing the root causes of inequity, Changing Mental Health is committed to creating lasting, meaningful change in San Francisco and beyond.

CMH’s efforts have transformed lives across San Francisco, reflecting our dedication to accessible care and advocacy for mental health.
