The Steve Fund offers an array of virtual and in-person programs and services grounded in research and best practices designed to address the mental health and wellbeing of young people of color and ensure they have an equal opportunity to thrive in their academic and career pursuits. Our content has been designed and is led by mental health research and practice experts with multidisciplinary and diverse backgrounds. Building knowledge and capacity among organizations serving young people of color is a critical element of the Steve Fund’s Mission. Therefore, we offer an array of Solutions designed to assist Colleges, Universities, Nonprofits and Workforce Organizations in improving their mental health and emotional well-being support for young people of color.
Right at this moment, there are young people of color who are failing academically, suffering emotionally, and/or in some cases are facing serious risk, because population-specific factors influencing mental health are too poorly understood and not acted upon. We are taking action.
