break barriers
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ARE A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE.
Yet, access to services is one of the most significant barriers to getting help. Hats On raises funds to invest in organizations breaking barriers to ensure local mental health and wellness programs can be offered to more individuals. Simply put, we all need better access to mental health services.
We need you to help us break barriers to support mental health.
