Our Criteria for Change
We invest in projects that embody our holistic approach to mental health, guided by the following criteria:
Integrated Approach: Projects that address the heart, mind, and spirit from a psychologically sound perspective.
Catholic Values: Initiatives that are grounded in Catholic spirituality and ethics.
Scalability: Solutions with the potential for wide-reaching impact.
Frontline Support: Resources that empower those directly aiding individuals in mental distress.
WHY: A Comprehensive Research Initiative
There are more people receiving mental health care in the United States than ever before, yet mental health is getting worse, causing many to ask, “Why are things getting worse?” This study aims to offer an answer from an authentically Catholic perspective.
