Fighting to Combat America's Mental Health Crisis

While 54 million people in the United States experience mental illness, fewer than half of adults and children with a mental health disorder ever receive treatment, often due to a lack of mental health resources in communities.The University of Notre Dame is working to change that. In September 2024, Notre Dame broke ground on the Wilma and Peter Veldman Family Psychology Clinic, which is expected to open in 2026.Once at full capacity, the clinic will serve more than 1,500 residents in the local area through mental health assessment, intervention, and prevention services. It will also foster partnerships with community organizations to expand access to mental health care throughout the South Bend, Indiana region.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/FightingForMentalHealth
