Hats On
For Awareness
We need you to help us break barriers to support mental health.
Our Vision
You can talk about mental health all you want. We believe in moving beyond awareness by taking action that drives change and impacts lives.
Mental health services are a right, not a privilege. Yet, access to services is one of the most significant barriers to getting help. Hats On raises funds to invest in organizations breaking barriers to ensure local mental health and wellness programs can be offered to more individuals. Simply put, we all need better access to mental health services.
