Strong Youth Need Strong Partners
Let’s work together to address the youth mental health crisis from the inside out. Join us in creating a strong and resilient generation of youth capable of thriving in a changing world.
“One in Five's work with our scholars is instrumental to our mission! One in Five provides our scholars with avenues to connect, be mentors, and share their stories!”
— Partner school principal
Why Partner with One in Five?
One in Five partners with youth and the institutions surrounding them, including schools, youth programs and community organizations, to understand current mental health challenges and to design and launch innovative, evidence-based models for supporting youth living with those challenges.
School-based care improves access. One study found that 58% of all adolescents who received mental health services accessed them in an educational setting. Our programs are designed to complement and strengthen existing services offered in schools and community organizations, supporting early intervention and fostering youth empowerment.
One in Five Empowers Youth to Find Strength in their Lived Mental Health Experiences
Our peer support models are designed in close partnership with youth and rooted in a core belief that all youth are strong, resilient and capable of thriving beyond their condition. Programs empower youth to understand their mental health challenges and become inspiration and support for others.
“One in Five has helped our students gain confidence while having fun.”
