Better Feelings is a non-profit organization created to champion mental health awareness and raise funding for vital resources for children facing depression.
Better Feelings Foundation.
Established to Help Children!
Roughly 1 in 5 adolescents aged 12-17 have a current, diagnosed mental or behavioral health condition, such as anxiety, depression, or behavior/conduct problems, according to the National Survey of Children’s Health. Additionally, as we learn more about what is needed for adolescent mental health, resources are being removed.
The Better Feelings Foundation came to be because there’s a definite need for resources and awareness that better support the future of the next generation!
Better Feelings Foundation is a registered 501c3 charity in the state of Colorado.
THERAPY FUND
Access to mental health care is expensive, scary, and often difficult to arrange. BFF is helping fund mental health care for kids that can’t afford it.
EVENTS & PROGRAMMING
Getting kids away from screens and around others is an instant boost. With that in mind, BFF is hosting and organizing events in the area.
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Taking the leap from high school to college can be frightening and expensive. BFF is funding scholarships to ease the transition.
BEST FRIENDS FUND
Better Feelings Foundation is raising $5,000 to get things started. Come be a part of a great cause by helping get us off the ground.
At Better Feelings, we believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.
