Transforming Mental Health & Well-Being for Indiana's Youth and Families

At the Valinhos Foundation, we believe Indiana can transform its mental health system by fostering innovation, promoting evidence-based practices, and strengthening collaboration among community partners. By reimagining policy and centering the voices of those we serve, we can build a system that is accessible, coordinated, and responsive—ensuring Hoosiers receive high-quality support for all their mental health needs.

Driving Systemic Change in Mental Health

The Valinhos Foundation (pronounced: vuh-leen-yoes) is a private family foundation dedicated to improving the mental health and overall well-being landscape for youth (up to age 24), families, and communities across Indiana.
