Alliance for Children's Mental Health

Launched in 2020, the Alliance combines the resources and reach of Morgan Stanley with the knowledge and experience of our distinguished nonprofit members to address the critical challenges of stress, anxiety and depression in young people through growth capital, capacity building, seed funding and thought leadership.

As mental health challenges among children and adolescents have become more pervasive and more urgent, we firmly believe there is not only an opportunity, but an obligation for the private sector to play a critical role in addressing the problem. The Morgan Stanley Foundation is proud to make an impact on this critical issue.
