The Yonna
Foundation
The Yonna Foundation for Mental Health Advocacy and Support Inc. exists to empower individuals and communities by addressing the urgent and complex challenges surrounding mental health. Guided by our unwavering belief in compassion, equity, and action, we are dedicated to creating effective initiatives that reach the underserved, amplify marginalized voices, and foster a culture of understanding and inclusion.
We recognize the systemic barriers that prevent access to quality mental health resources—stigma, socioeconomic inequities, and inadequate support systems—and work tirelessly to dismantle them. Through awareness campaigns, community engagement, and direct support services, we aim to break down these barriers and promote mental wellness for all.
Our goal is to inspire lasting change by ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to heal, thrive, and live with dignity. The Yonna Foundation is not just an organization—it is a movement fueled by the belief that mental health is a fundamental human right. We are committed to carrying out initiatives that transform lives, support communities, and pave the way for a future where mental health advocacy and care are prioritized worldwide.
📣 Important Update on the Inaugural Yonna Camp
To our Yonna Foundation family and supporters,
The inaugural Yonna Camp, originally scheduled for July 19th, is being postponed. This decision was not made lightly. As we continue to grow and strengthen our foundation from the inside out, we’ve experienced organizational shifts and fundraising shortfalls that made it clear we couldn’t yet deliver the experience our youth deserve.
We remain fully committed to creating safe, healing, and empowering spaces for youth mental health, and this camp is still a vital part of our vision. Postponing now gives us the time and resources needed to build something sustainable, impactful, and worthy of the young people we serve.
Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and belief in the work we’re doing. Despite this pause, we’re still beaming after awarding three scholarships at our Diamond Scholars Prom last month!
We invite you to stay connected as we share updates about new timelines, growing programs, and more opportunities to support youth and mental health advocacy.

With gratitude,
