WE ARE THE NEW WAY OUT
ABOUT US
About New Way Out
New Way Out was started in response to fighting back against today’s mental health crises by creating a culture where the spectrum of mental health – from situational, behavioral issues to more serious, medical brain conditions – is openly and unapologetically discussed. New Way Out is committed to expanding mental health resources and education for young adults in California, and providing opportunities to develop in advocacy. We are working to inspire young adults to build a powerful grassroots network on California college campuses that consciously embraces promoting effective change for the most severe mental health issues facing the Golden State.
