Who we are: Project Healthy Minds is a new millennial/Gen Z-driven non-profit startup focused on tackling one of the defining issues of our generation: the growing mental health crisis. The problem were solving: 615 million people worldwide and 65 million Americans are diagnosed with a mental health condition, and yet 60% never get mental health support. There are three drivers of this "treatment gap": (1) the stigmatization of the health topic, (2) people don’t know where/how to access care, and (3) insurance constraints and a workforce shortage preclude too many people from being able to afford care. What we do: Were building a digital discovery marketplace (think Kayak.com or Expedia for discovering mental health services) -- to make it easier to find mental health care. Were building an unprecedented national anti-stigma and education campaign featuring celebrities -- to destigmatize mental health and meet millennials/Gen Z where they actually are. Were creating the first national standards for what businesses should do to better serve the mental health needs of their employees -- to expand availability of care.

Within our various levels of care we focus on the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being of the individual. Pinnacle provides a variety of treatment services and therapies and, depending on the level of care, these services can include medication, individual counseling, group counseling, self-help, structured activities, and opportunities to participate in twelve-step and other fellowship meetings. In addition, the Pinnacle network provides non-treatment related services, such as housing and alumni services. All of our locations have appropriately qualified staff and, depending on the level of care and types of services provided, which may include physicians, psychiatrists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, clinical services team members, and other support staff.
