Mental Health Impact Awards
The Deeper Cuts Therapy Mental Health Impact Awards honor individuals, organizations, and initiatives whose commitment to healing, community well-being, and mental health drives meaningful change across Sacramento. Honorees are leaders, advocates, and change-makers who work to improve the social and emotional health of their communities, confront harmful systems, and expand access to care, resources, and support. Their work reflects courage, compassion, and a deep belief in the power of connection and collective healing. This recognition celebrates not only individual achievement, but the ability to bring people together, elevate community voices, and create pathways toward wellness, dignity, and justice.
Announced in May during Mental Health Awareness Month, the Mental Health Impact Awards bring together community members, mental health professionals, advocates, civic leaders, and local organizations to celebrate impact and elevate solutions.
