The Foundation is dedicated to the mental well-being of our students. Many students in the district still struggle to access the mental health services they are in need of. This is why The Foundation is partnering with Smallify to develop youth-led solutions to ensure every student gets the mental health support they deserve.
Mental health support directly contributes to our students’ success and well-being. These innovations are achieved through several efforts.
Ecosystem
Assessment
Auditing current mental health resources and identifying key gaps.
Student Advisory Council
Ensuring student voices shape our strategy.
Primary Research
Conducting focus groups, listening tours, and surveys to gather comprehensive date.
Strategy Development and Implementation

Student Mental Health Resources Review
The Foundation is committed to exploring how best to support the mental health of every student. With this in mind, we embarked on a landscape analysis to understand the current system across the Fresno Unified School District.
Produced in partnership with DoSomething Strategic (DSS), we conducted research and hosted conversations with students and stakeholders to investigate the state of the district’s mental health resources. The result is this detailed findings report, which presents a deep dive into FUSD’s student mental health ecosystem.
