The Towbes Foundation proudly supports YouthWell for their commitment to early intervention, destigmatizing mental health, educating the community on wellness, building a strong support network for families, and fostering a collaborative approach to creating a comprehensive system of care across Santa Barbara County. Their work in breaking down barriers to mental health services is vital to the well-being of our youth, and we’re honored to be part of this important mission.
Empower Families: Prioritize Early Intervention by Funding Wellness Navigators
“We want to build a village around the family so they feel supported,” says Rachael Steidl, founder of YouthWell. “Our Navigators recognize the unique challenges of each family and think outside the box to match them accordingly so that they can get the help they need and deserve in a timely manner.”
YouthWell is finding an increasing demand for its Wellness Navigator program that supports families on their mental health journey by addressing their individual needs, removing barriers, connecting them with services, and offering hope. YouthWell aims to raise $175,000 to expand by hiring more navigators in order to serve more families from all backgrounds with youth through the age of 25 in Santa Barbara County.
