Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Mental Health
Mission: Creative physicians coming up with creative solutions. The Mangata Foundation, Inc. has brought together industry experts in over a dozen fields (medicine, technology, psychology, finance, law, accounting, entrepreneurship, business, entertainment, art, music, social services) to work towards one goal: improving access to mental health care in underserved communities. What started as a masters thesis project at Harvard University in 2013, is now a non-profit organization focused on scalable solutions to mental health. We are led by psychiatrists, therapists, and industry experts outside of healthcare, to get the brightest minds together in solving the most pressing problems in our field. Our founders realized in their own work as mental health providers that a majority of the work done one-on-one with patients could be done in a more scalable way, to reach more people and minimize the need for costly interventions. Mangata has begun to put these tools together, and we hope you choose to support us and follow us to get tips on mental health, wellbeing, self-care, building up your community and environment, and many other ways to stay joyful and well. No subscriptions, no fees. Our goal is to improve well-being for all – without the stresses of needing to churn a profit or the burden of being held back by antiquated approaches. We are completely volunteer-run, have no paid staff, and all donations go entirely to our programs.
Results: The Mangata Foundation, Inc. team has been working towards innovative solutions in mental health since 2013, and we formalized our efforts in 2020. Our goal is to improve access to mental health care so that one day, anyone who wishes to receive mental health care can do so. We push forward our mission through programs in education, nutrition, and recreation. Our work is enhanced by our backgrounds in research, diversity, and inclusion. Our primary focus is in serving those communities traditionally underserved (low-income, racial minority, LGBTQIA+). Our primary goal is to create a one-stop resource for all things mental health, curated by the world’s experts in mental health – available to you for free. We hope to offer courses on our website explaining concepts within mental health, so that you can get as much of the knowledge and understanding beforehand as possible, and can focus your medical visits on the most important part – you.
