HISTORY

Teens Connect was founded in 2016 after Napa County tragically lost two teenagers to suicide. After successfully collaborating with Mentis for several years, the two organizations merged in 2020. Today, Teens Connect is a cornerstone program of Mentis, which now offers a complete continuum of mental health care to people of all ages.
