Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Key MinistrycoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerKey Ministry and Fresh Hope partnered to create 'Key to Hope' - a support group specifically for parents caring for a child with a disability or mental health challenge. Parents caring for children with disabilities have up to twice the risk of developing their own mental health issues. This partnership addresses the need for caregiver-specific mental health support within faith communities.
• Mental Health StrongcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerMental Health Strong and Fresh Hope partnered to offer support groups for couples dealing with mental health and addiction challenges. Marriage is one of the strongest relationships in adult life and has the potential to bring healing or damage. The partnership helps couples work together so their marriage brings healing and connection despite mental health challenges.
• American Psychiatry Association - Mental Health and Faith Community PartnershipminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerFresh Hope references resources from the Mental Health and Faith Community Partnership, a collaboration between psychiatrists and clergy aimed at fostering dialogue between medical and spiritual approaches, reducing stigma, and addressing both medical and spiritual dimensions of mental health.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• ClergyMentalHealth.org (American Psychiatric Association Foundation): An initiative of the American Psychiatric Association Foundation convening clergy and psychiatrists - Fresh Hope has an existing 'We to Them' relationship with this program. Comparable as an institutional player bridging faith and clinical mental health, though not a direct peer-support provider.

Emerging players

• Active Minds: Nonprofit focused on mental health awareness and peer support for young adults, primarily on college campuses. Comparable to Fresh Hope for Teens in target population and peer-led model, though secular and campus-distributed.
• Mental Health Strong: Faith-based ministry supporting couples and families impacted by mental health and addiction. Active Fresh Hope partner for the 'Groups for Couples' program, but independently operates peer support and counseling resources for similar populations.
• Bring Change to Mind: Mental health nonprofit that creates peer-led conversation programs in schools, workplaces, and communities. Comparable as a smaller, donor-funded nonprofit with a peer-education orientation, though secular and awareness-focused rather than support-group focused.
• Key Ministry: Faith-based nonprofit that partners with churches to support families of children with disabilities and mental health challenges. Currently a Fresh Hope partner ('Key to Hope'), but operates adjacent peer support and training programs that overlap directly.

Direct peers

• Mental Health America: Community-based nonprofit focused on mental health advocacy, education, and peer support across the US. Comparable as a broad mental health nonprofit with peer support and educational resources, though with a more clinical/advocacy orientation.
• NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness): The largest US grassroots mental health nonprofit, offering free peer-led support groups (NAMI Connection, Family-to-Family) for individuals with mental illness and their families. Directly comparable in mission, volunteer-driven group model, and donation-based funding, though secular rather than faith-based.
• NAMI FaithNet: Faith-based sub-program of NAMI providing mental health resources, support, and education within faith communities. The most direct competitor to Fresh Hope's faith-integrated peer support model, with the advantage of NAMI's larger organizational infrastructure.
• Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA): National nonprofit operating free, peer-led support groups specifically for people living with depression and bipolar disorder - the same primary diagnostic populations Fresh Hope serves. Highly comparable in model, scale, and population served.

Broad incumbents

• American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP): Largest US nonprofit dedicated to suicide prevention through research, education, advocacy, and loss survivor support. Comparable as a national mental health nonprofit with donor funding and community chapters, though with a narrower mission and more clinical/research orientation.
