Mission, Vision, and Values - TheStillWaters Mental Health Foundation
Our Mission
We exist to give young people the strength, tools, and community they need to confront life’s challenges. We are committed to providing a haven where students and young adults can share openly, connect meaningfully, and find answers. Through impactful programs such as conferences, interviews, symposiums, and outreach initiatives, we ignite hope and empower young people to take charge of their mental well-being.
Empowerment
Every young person deserves the ability to take control of their life. We are here to provide the resources, education, and support that allow youth to become the best versions of themselves, not only in their mental health but in all areas of their lives. Empowerment means providing the tools to succeed and the space to grow, learn, and make a difference.
Compassion
We approach every situation with empathy and understanding. We know that mental health struggles can be isolating, and we are here to offer compassion and create a space for youth to feel heard and cared for. The actions we take are rooted in understanding and we make sure that every young person feels seen and supported.
Access
No one should be left behind. Mental health resources must be accessible to all. Whether it’s through our events, programs, or online platforms, we are committed to providing access to the support every young person needs to overcome their mental health struggles. We aim to remove any barrier that could stand in the way of someone receiving the help they deserve.
Community
Our work is built on the idea that together, we are stronger. Community provides the strength, support, and shared experiences that allow individuals to thrive. We strive to create a network of support where youth can come together, learn from one another, and grow in an environment of understanding and respect.
Integrity
Our work is driven by honesty and a commitment to do what’s right. Integrity ensures that we always remain accountable to those we serve, delivering on our promises and staying true to our values. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in every aspect of our work.
Want to make a difference?
We are committed to changing how mental health is approached for young people everywhere. Our promise is to continue this work, expand our reach, and ensure that every young person who needs help knows where to turn. Together, we are building a future where mental health support is accessible, and no youth faces their challenges alone. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are making a difference. The little we do is more.
Innovation
Mental health needs evolve, and so do we. We are committed to finding new, effective ways to address the challenges that youth face. Whether through technology, outreach methods, or partnerships, we are always seeking innovative approaches to ensure that our efforts are impactful and relevant.
Our Promise
Since our beginning five years ago, The Still Waters Mental Health Foundation has made steady progress. With each step forward, we are driven by a shared dedication to improving the lives of young people. Every day, we work toward a future where mental health is no longer something young people struggle with in silence. It should be something that is understood, supported, and handled with care and compassion.
