Youth Mental Wellness

The Corvallis Clinic Foundation is working to address the mental health challenges faced by young people and their families in our community. The Foundation hosts online youth mental wellness groups to assist youth suffering from anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and provides a group for parents and caregivers. The Foundation is also producing a video series on these same topics for youth and works to educate the community about the role we all can play to respond to today’s youth mental health crisis.

Youth Mental Wellness Groups

The Foundation provides online mental wellness groups to assist young people suffering from anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Groups rotate topics each week and there’s a monthly group for parents and guardians. Attendees may remain anonymous and can keep their cameras on or off based on their comfort level. Each meeting includes education, skills-building, and a time for questions and answers. Groups are designed for youth and families who are on a waiting list to see a mental health practitioner, although they are open to anyone within the recommended age groups.

Support TCCF’s Youth Mental Wellness Program

The number of young people with mental health problems in our community has become an epidemic. There are too few practitioners and too many young people in need, meaning many families who need quick access to mental health care are unable to access it. We are working to fill some of the gaps through this program. Your support will help our efforts to make a difference for these young people in our community. Donate
