Our mission - Our Mission

The Arhin Foundation helps children in underserved NYC communities access mental health care by funding therapy and psychiatric services and strengthening providers who put help within reach.

What we fund - Direct support that moves people from waitlists to care

We focus on three core areas that create the most impact for mental health access.

  • Access. Direct support that moves young people from waitlists to care (sessions, clinic capacity).
  • Talent. Supervision, training, and early-career support for clinicians.
  • Stigma. Consent-first programs and content that make seeking help normal.

Portfolio emphasis - Our current allocation reflects our priorities
