Last week, Access Institute was a part of SF Tech Week, joining an inspiring conversation on “Caring for the Mental Health of Your Team and Yourself.”

We had the opportunity to connect with founders, professionals, and community members from across the Bay Area to discuss the importance of prioritizing mental health, supporting one another, and creating healthier workplaces.

It was a great reminder that no matter what industry we work in, mental health matters, and meaningful conversations like these help build stronger, more supportive communities.

A heartfelt thank you to the organizers, panelists, and everyone who joined us for such a thoughtful evening. We’re grateful to have been part of it!

We are honored to be named a 2026 Champions in Action Award Winner by Citizens Financial Group!

This recognition is more than an award. It is an investment in the future of mental health care across San Francisco.

For more than 20 years, Access Institute has provided trauma-informed mental health services to children, families, and older adults while training the next generation of mental health professionals. With this generous $50,000 Champions in Action award, we will expand our clinical training programs, increase opportunities for mental health interns and psychiatric nurse practitioner fellows, and strengthen access to care throughout our community.

We are deeply grateful to Citizens for believing in our mission and for investing in innovative solutions that help ensure more people receive the compassionate mental health care they deserve.

Together, we’re building a healthier, more resilient San Francisco.

Every child, every family, and every older adult deserves access to compassionate, high-quality mental health care. Together, we’re making that vision a reality.

Access Institute’s In-School Mental Health Program provides critical mental health care for children experiencing anxiety, grief, isolation, and trauma. This year alone, our therapists provided more than 2,000 hours of counseling and support to students and their families at seven public schools throughout San Francisco.

Teachers and caregivers are witnessing remarkable transformations. Children who once struggled with significant behavioral challenges are developing healthy coping skills, building stronger relationships, and thriving in the classroom.

As the youth mental health crisis continues to grow, so does the need for accessible, school-based care.
Please donate today to help ensure that every child who needs support has access to compassionate, life-changing mental health care.

Help create brighter futures for our kids by donating to support in-school mental health services today!

Every child deserves access to mental health care when they need it.

Your gift supports Access Institute’s in-school mental health program, bringing therapy and compassionate care directly to children and families. It helps students facing trauma, anxiety, grief, housing instability, and other life challenges receive support that can change the course of their future.

We know this intervention works: 92% of students served showed clear improvement in emotional regulation, peer relationships, and classroom behavior.

The need for our school-based mental health care continues to grow, and we cannot do this work alone.

When you give, you’re helping provide:

💛 Safe, accessible mental health care for children in their schools
💛 Support and guidance for families navigating difficult times
💛 A trusted adult and consistent source of stability for students who need it most

Every dollar brings us one step closer to ensuring more children receive the care they deserve.

So far, we’ve raised $48,300. Please make your gift today and help us reach our $100,000 goal by June 30.

Together, we can make sure no child has to face life’s challenges alone.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Spectrum Gala & Art Auction. Your generosity, enthusiasm, and belief in Access Institute made it an unforgettable evening and raised more than $360,000!

Together, our community gathered in San Francisco for a night of art, connection, and purpose—raising critical support for Access Institute’s mission to provide high-quality mental health care for those who might otherwise go without it. We were honored to celebrate Dr. Bart Magee, Access Institute’s founding Executive Director, with a Lifetime Achievement Award and hear from special guest speaker Annabelle Gurwitch, whose humor and honesty about finding small joys can make a big difference when navigating life’s challenges.

From the stunning artwork in the silent auction and unique experiences in the live auction to the meaningful moments shared from the stage, the evening was a beautiful reminder of what is possible when a community comes together around mental health.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and helped bring Spectrum to life. Special thanks to our generous sponsors, including Skin Spirit Noe Valley. In a delightful surprise, one guest at each table received a gift certificate for a signature facial.

Your support ensures that Access Institute can continue providing life-changing care while training the next generation of mental health professionals.

Can’t wait to see you next year!
