THE ISSUE
There is a mental health crisis facing kids in NH. Too many families face long waiting periods or live in communities with insufficient services to deal with issues ranging from anxiety to chronic mental health disorders.
OUR SOLUTION
Our solution is to support the outstanding work already being done by providing schools, youth serving organizations and individuals with the necessary resources to get their jobs done.
HOW DO WE DO THIS?
YouthWell was founded with a $1 million gift. In order to sustain our ongoing efforts, we are reaching out to our community for assistance in raising additional funds.

The State We’re In- Youth mental Health.

Testimonials
“We are excited to offer our 30-Day Challenge Mental Wellness program at Winnacunnet High School, as well as other schools and teams, thanks to funding from YouthWell New Hampshire. We need new discussions and out-of-the-box ideas to address the mental health challenges of young people today. YouthWell is committed to facilitating innovative programs that will improve the mental well-being of young people in NH and beyond. Our program provides, in a scalable way, a safe and supportive environment for students (and adults) to address emotional challenges and promote self-awareness, empathy, and resilience, and we can’t thank YouthWell New Hampshire enough for helping us to get it off the ground.” -Jeff Levin, Jeff Levin Life Coaching
