Making Life-Enhancing Care Possible

Because we are a nonprofit and offer sliding-scale fees, more than 67% of the cost of Newport Mental Health’s vital, life-saving care is dependent on donations from generous individuals like you, the community-minded businesses who sponsor our events, and the extraordinary organizations that provide grant funding.

Newport Mental Health is a 501c3 charitable, nonprofit organization that helps you, your loved ones, and your neighbors live happier, healthier, more productive lives, regardless of the ability to pay.
