  • Mission

    We exist to educate others that "mental illness" doesn't mean "crazy."

    About Us

    At the Bars Family Foundation, our goal is to make a lasting, positive impact in peoples' lives and our communities. We focus on people living with mental illness, especially our returning veterans, to ensure that they receive much-needed care and are not discriminated against because of the stigma that surrounds mental illness.

    We also help drive the changes necessary to ensure that those affected by the stigma of mental illness have access to the resources and care they need while educating the public that "mental illness" doesn't mean "crazy." This we accomplish through organizing and energizing our communities to action through advocacy, service, and fundraising, thus enabling our friends and neighbors to be educated, informative, and impactful.
