The Weissman Children’s Foundation (WCF) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2020 by Dr. Adam S. Weissman, with a mission to advance mental health access and equity through innovation, community action and crisis relief, and compassionate, data-driven care. Our key partners include Harvard and Columbia Universities, CUNY-Hunter College, and the Westchester County Government. Widely recognized for its COVID Mental Health Relief Initiative which helped over 1,000 underserved families during the pandemic, WCF is the recent recipient of Westchester County’s Healthcare Hero, 40 Under 40, and Public Health Awards, as well as the American Psychological Association’s Distinguished Contributions to Practice Award, one of the field’s highest honors.

Our success, impact, and ability to do the work that we do stems from the immense support, partnership, and collaboration of our friends, family, and community partners. Thank you for helping us bring light, love, and wellness to so many children and families in need.
