Join us in our mission to make mental health a priority in every community Saks fifth Avenue foundation
The need for mental health support has never been more urgent.

One in four young adults experienced mental illness last year, yet more than half received no care.

In addition, women, the LGBTQ+ community and communities of color face unique challenges to awareness and access for their critical mental health needs—where the distance between symptoms and treatment can last for a decade.

Through our targeted nonprofit partnerships, we work to bridge that gap by increasing awareness and education, improving access to care, and promoting the tools and skills that build positive mental health for those who need it most.
