Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being, yet many still face barriers to getting the care they need.

This May, for Mental Health Awareness Month, we are honoring the work of our local partners who provide life-saving support and compassionate care every day: Family & Children's Service of Ithaca and the Su***de Prevention & Crisis Service of Tompkins County.

From professional counseling and youth programs to 24/7 crisis intervention, these organizations are the backbone of our communityโ€™s mental health resources. When you support United Way of Tompkins County, you are investing in the critical programs that keep our neighbors safe, supported, and heard.

Letโ€™s turn awareness into action!
