What is the Mental Health Initiative?

Too many people who need therapy never receive it—not because they don’t want help, but because they can’t afford it.

The Mental Health Initiative is a 501(c)3 that exists to change that—connecting individuals and families to real mental health care regardless of their financial situation.

This 50K isn’t just a race. It’s a way to fund access to care for people who would otherwise go without it.

We are running 50K to raise $50,000 so people who need therapy can actually access it. Run with us. Or give. Either way—you’re part of someone’s healing.

Your Questions,
Answered.

Why are you doing this?

The biggest barrier to mental health care today isn’t stigma — it’s cost. Many individuals delay treatment, reduce their session frequency, or discontinue care altogether because they cannot afford the level or frequency of care they need.

The Mental Health Initiative bridges the gap between what people can afford & what therapists must charge to sustainably provide care —so that people who would otherwise go without therapy to receive consistent, life-changing mental health care.

To do this, we need your donation so that we can bridge this gap and help a person in financial hardship pay for the mental health care they need. We chose a 50k to build community and bring more awareness to this mission to get more people to raise money with us and become partners in this endeavor.

Do I have to run?

Heck no. If you don’t want to run with us, we get it. 50K is a long way. We’d love for you to consider donating and sponsoring us as we try to raise awareness of this issue and make quality mental health care possible to hose in financial hardship.


What if I do want to run with you?

We love this idea! We are asking that anyone who wants to run with us pledge to raise $500 for the cause. Reach out to us and let us know you’d like to join!


Whats the details about this race?

We are running the Cloudland Canyon 50k. The Mental Health Initiative is unaffiliated with the race event. We are simply a group of people who are signing up for the Cloudland Canyon 50k, but using this endeavor to raise money for the Mental Health Initiative to bring affordable care to those with financial hardship.
