Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to advance policy and social change on behalf of mental health and substance use treatment organizations and the people and families they serve. It advocates for equitable access to high-quality services, builds provider capacity, and promotes mental wellbeing as part of comprehensive health care.
Its 2024 filing describes work in public education, practice improvement, educational and consulting services, and public policy. Examples of organizations receiving its 2025 grants show support reaching varied community providers. Olive Crest says it provides safe homes, counseling, and education for children and parents in crisis; Health Solutions describes behavioral and substance use health services; and Child Enrichment says it provides intervention, stabilization, advocacy, and prevention for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. These are the grantees’ own descriptions, not statements of the National Council’s mission.
