Welcome to ActNow for Mental Health
About Us
ACTNow for Mental health (ANMH) is a non-profit (501(c)(3)) organization dedicated to expanding access to mental health services and support, while fighting mental & behavioral health stigma for all young adults (ages 17-32). ANMH focuses on communities that have been historically underserved by the health system including LGBTQIA+ and POC populations, people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities, and people who are uninsured or underinsured.
Through the pillars of Advocacy, Compassion, and Treatment, ANMH advocates for systemic policy reforms, implements stigma free campaigns and partnerships with local schools and universities, and provides free telehealth services to young adults in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia areas (DMV) and free support groups to young adults nationwide.
