The Child Mind Institute and SoFi raised $630,000 at their fifth annual golf invitational on April 20 at San Francisco's Olympic Club. The funds support the institute's work treating children and families dealing with mental health conditions and learning disorders.
This partnership demonstrates continued private sector investment in youth mental health services. The Child Mind Institute provides evidence-based care and research across the country. Donations like this one expand access to treatment that many families struggle to afford.
Youth mental health has become increasingly urgent. The American Academy of Pediatrics declared a national emergency in child and adolescent mental health in 2021. Conditions including anxiety, depression, and ADHD affect millions of children, yet many go undiagnosed or untreated due to cost and availability barriers.
Fundraising events like this golf invitational help close that gap. The $630,000 enables the institute to continue offering services to underserved populations and advance research into effective treatments. For parents seeking mental health support for their children, the Child Mind Institute provides evaluation, therapy, and educational resources.
