Innovation Award winners
- New Leadership Learning Series aims to help more charities
build capacity for greater impact
Morgan Stanley today announced the third cohort of winners of
its Alliance for Children’s Mental Health Innovation Awards, an
initiative that aims to fund and advance transformative mental
healthcare solutions for children and young adults across the
U.S.
From nearly 750 applications, five organizations have been
chosen for their inventive and scalable solutions for improving
children’s mental health. Each organization will be awarded
$100,000 to expand their programming, receive training from
industry professionals and build connections with other nonprofits
and potential funders.
In response to the high volume of applications since the awards
began in 2021, the Alliance is launching a Leadership Learning
Series to support more nonprofits delivering solutions around
children’s mental health, especially early-stage organizations
seeking to grow their programming for greater impact. Over 200
leaders from nearly 80 nonprofits will have access to expert-led
sessions and networking opportunities over eight months, covering
topics such as strategic development, funding for scaling, team
effectiveness and impact measurement.
“In the face of a profound mental health crisis among our
nation’s young people and persistent gaps in accessible care, the
need for game-changing solutions is dire,” said Joan Steinberg,
President of the Morgan Stanley Foundation and CEO of the Alliance
for Children’s Mental Health’s Advisory Board. “We are delighted to
play a role in supporting nonprofits across the country through our
Innovation Awards and our new Leadership Learning Series. These
organizations are crucial to community, school and peer-based
solutions, working to ensure that more young people receive the
mental health support they need now.”
The 2024 Innovation Award winners and their scalable solutions
include:
- Amal Alliance empowers vulnerable and displaced children
through education and social development programs in both formal
and informal safe learning spaces around the globe.
- Colors of Kindness: Provides culturally responsive and
inclusive social-emotional learning programming on mobile care
buses for displaced kids living in remote shelters, and in
low-income schools to improve children’s well-being.
- Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health aims to expand
access to quality, evidence-based youth mental health care as
quickly as possible.
- First-Gen Teen Center: Empowers first-generation American teen
advisors to engage in peer mentoring and trains new therapists to
provide culturally informed treatment and family support.
- Give Us The Floor supports LGBTQ+ youth in distress through a
peer-led community, reducing shame and stigma and fostering
connection and hope.
- Supportive Group Chats: Provides peer support to LGBTQ+ youth
nationwide through online chat groups facilitated by trained youth,
helping to address mental health challenges and build resiliency as
they enter adulthood.
- Our Minds Matter is a teen-led movement encouraging young
people to change the culture around mental health and help prevent
teen suicide.
- Community-based Peer Clubs: Extends a proven school-based club
model to teen centers, creating safe spaces and providing
peer-to-peer mental health support for teens in underserved
communities.
- Upstream Education works with schools across the country to
give teachers the training and tools they need to support the
mental well-being of their students.
- Bite-sized Tools for Student Well-being: Helps students
strengthen resilience, reduce anxiety and enhance well-being
through an actionable curriculum of simple strategies designed by
teachers for teachers.
