Who Is Inseparable?

Inseparable is the only mental health advocacy organization focused on building a social movement with the power to win major federal and state reforms that will save lives and improve care for millions of Americans.

A Better Approach to Mental Health:

The health of our minds is inseparable from the health of our bodies. The rise in mental health issues, stigmas surrounding mental illness, and the lack of durable funding to address crises and long-term challenges, has created an urgent need for stronger policy & funding solutions and greater understanding.

We all go through hard times. We lose jobs and loved ones. We get anxious and depressed. We feel like we’re barely hanging on sometimes. For some of us, it’s clinical. For all of us, it matters. And when we care for our minds, it’s no less urgent than the care we need for our bodies. Each affects the other — just like us. Together, we are inseparable.

Inseparable is the only mental health advocacy organization focused on building a social movement with the power to win major federal and state reforms that will save lives and improve care for millions of Americans.

Established in 2020, Inseparable is a growing coalition of people from across the country who share a common goal to fundamentally improve mental health care policy — to take care of ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. We are coming together as a united, hopeful force to press our leaders to support the idea that, with tangible policy solutions, the health of our minds cannot be separate from the health of our bodies.

Inseparable fights for a future where mental health policy, no longer an afterthought, helps our country thrive. Together, we will empower people in America from every town, city, and home to better care for one another by demanding and winning policy that better cares for us all.
