Mental Health Matters

At United Way of Forsyth County, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. Too many children, families, and adults in our community struggle in silence—often without the resources or support they need. We’re working to change that.

Through partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and health providers, United Way invests in programs that expand access to mental health services, break down stigma, and ensure care is available when and where it’s needed most. From student counseling and crisis response to community-based wellness initiatives, we’re building a stronger safety net for Forsyth and Dawson Counties.


Our Focus

  • In Schools – Providing students with counseling & mental health support so they can stay on track.

  • In the Community – Supporting programs that connect families to affordable counseling, wellness services, and crisis response resources.

  • For the Future – Raising awareness, reducing stigma, and investing in collaborative solutions that address root causes and build resilience.
