oUR sTORY

We started Mantra because the wait list was too long.

In the U.S., 1 in 5 adults lives with a mental illness — and most never get the care they need. Mantra Foundation exists to close that gap. We train volunteers, subsidize therapy, and answer the phone every single night so that the next person doesn’t have to wait.
