The Ryan DeBaun Mental Health Memorial Fund was established with Ryan’s parents Daniel and June DeBaun and The Holistic Mental Health Clinic in June 2022. The fund supports mental health counseling services for young adults who cannot afford the mental health services they need. We focus on this age group as we feel this is when Ryan’s struggles began. The Holistic Mental Health Clinic supports the fund by offering recipients mental health services for those who are eligible.
The Ryan DeBaun Mental Health Memorial Fund originated as a GoFundMe for friends and family to donate at Ryan’s celebration of life. Over twenty thousand dollars was raised and young people in need are currently receiving the mental health treatment they need through the fund. We have seen how this assistance is helping many young adults to relieve the pain and confusion they are experiencing… Ryan’s passing will not be in vain, his memory will live on in helping others who share similar struggles get earlier interventions.
The Ryan DeBaun Mental Health Memorial Fund became a Not-for-Profit September 2022. Below are some of the responses we have received from our recipients. Thank you for your consideration in supporting our work helping young adults struggling with their mental health receive the mental health treatment that could change their life!
Your support is greatly appreciated.
