MISSION

Momentum for Mental Health exists to help individuals achieve mental and emotional health, discover and reach their potential, and fully participate in life.

Momentum offers adults, adolescents and families an array of high-quality programs and services that promote a healthier, independent future.

The organization focuses on a seamless delivery of comprehensive behavioral health services that are accessible, integrated, effective and engaging, resulting in the best treatment possible.

Momentum for Mental Health was one of the organizations, in Santa Clara County, chosen to receive funding to create a social marketing campaign to reduce the stigma surrounding behavioral health among youth, transitional-age youth and their families.

This project is supported by Kaiser Permanente Northern California Community Benefit Programs.
