RaisingHealth Partners

Don't let five years go to waste.

That's how long RaisingHealth has spent developing our mental health program. Five years of program modelling, forming partnerships, creating destigmatization materials, and strategizing and restrategizing around community outreach.

Now, it's all at risk of being dismantled. Our federal mental health funding ends this year, threatening to halt our services and leave the 80+ individuals we're currently serving without essential mental healthcare.

Many of these individuals are facing especially acute fears in the midst of a federal climate that rains cruelty on immigrant families. Uninsured, with little to no income to spare for anything other than essentials like groceries, these community members have nowhere else to turn for help.

That's where RaisingHealth comes in. Through our unique model, we provide free, linguistically and culturally sensitive, community-based mental health counseling and wraparound support that our AAPI community members can't find elsewhere. Our program is nationally recognized, having received a prestigious award by the American Psychiatric Association Foundation this year.

The expiration of our federal funding means we cannot sustain our impact for long. This AAPI Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re raising funds to fill the funding gap that threatens five years of hard work.

We urgently need your help. Donate to our campaign this May to ensure AAPI community members continue to receive the linguistically and culturally sensitive mental healthcare they need now more than ever.

About RaisingHealth Partners

RaisingHealth is a public health nonprofit that serves AAPI and Latino immigrant New Yorkers in South Brooklyn, many of whom are uninsured and have been denied access to healthcare because of their immigration status. We provide free services for low-income immigrants that promote community wellness, including wraparound case management, mental health counseling, preventive health screenings, food pantry, English literacy classes, workforce development programming, safety trainings, and community murals. Through our work, we affirm that healthcare is not a privilege but a basic human right.
