91¹û¶³´«Ã½

91¹û¶³´«Ã½ works in the U.S. and abroad to fight stigma and discrimination related to mental health.

Through our Rosalynn 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism, we offer stipends and training to support accurate and sensitive reporting on topics related to mental health, caregiving, and substance use. 

Fellowships are currently awarded to journalists in the United States, as well as to international fellows in the United Arab Emirates, Ireland, and Latin America. We also offer specialized fellowships for journalists reporting on the intersection of mental health and substance use in countries most affected by climate change.

Applications open at the end of January each year. Learn more about the fellowship, access free mental health reporting tools, and how to apply.

The Mental Health Parity Newsroom Collaborative is an exciting partnership between 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ and newsrooms around the country focused on expanding coverage of mental health care access, parity, and inequities in the United States. To date, 45 newsrooms and 120 journalists have participated, producing wide-reaching stories on mental health care access and inequities in the United States.

Participating newsrooms receive training and resources to produce stories as part of the project, connected through a tagline and amplified on a variety of distribution channels.

91¹û¶³´«Ã½ advances evidence-based solutions to improve mental health outcomes. With our long-standing presence in Georgia, and our strategic outreach across other states and at the federal level, we work to expand access to critical services and support systems.

Our priority areas include: 
– Mental Health Parity: Promoting policies that ensure coverage of mental health and addiction care is as important as physical health services. 
– Youth Mental Health and School-Based Services: Supporting early intervention and access to care for children and adolescents in educational settings. 
– Decriminalization of Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorders: Advancing reforms that support rather than punish individuals in crisis.
— Systems of Care for Older Adults with Serious Mental Illness: Strengthening systems and supports for aging populations with complex behavioral health needs.

Through legislative advocacy, coalition building, education, and public awareness campaigns, we work to positively transform mental health policy and systems across the United States.

The Global Mental Health Initiative at 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ is engaged in the mental health revolution — a movement to reduce stigma, expand access to care, and affirm mental health as a fundamental human right.

Building on more than 15 years of experience in Liberia, we work globally to bring lasting change to mental health services. Alongside governments, people with lived experience, health care workers, international partners, and key community stakeholders, we are co-creating robust ecosystems for mental health and well-being.

Our work enables low- and middle-income countries to enhance access to quality mental health care and improve overall health wellbeing for individuals, their families, and communities by strengthening health systems.

We are now extending this impact. Read more about our work in ,, and Nigeria.

For nearly 40 years, Mrs. 91¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s visionary leadership has inspired us to recognize family caregivers, who are often unseen. Our ongoing research and advocacy aim to bring caregiving and caregivers out of the shadows and into the light of appreciation and support.

Our caregiver support has empowered tens of thousands of caregivers across all 50 states and Puerto Rico, raising awareness, building confidence, and easing the emotional and practical burdens of care.
