Charity
Every dollar
funds real
change.
Our mission is to change the world's mental health system — working on root issues, not just symptoms. When you give to Scendent, you're directly funding scholarships, community programmes, and the infrastructure that keeps young adults supported.
Scholarship Fund
Removes financial barriers to professional mental health care. Covers therapy sessions, counselling, and wellbeing programmes for young adults who can't afford to wait or pay.
Community Programmes
Funds events and challenges — like the 720 Scendent Challenge — that build real connection, accountability, and momentum for young people working on themselves.
Advocate Training
Trains Scenders to become mental health advocates in their own communities. One trained advocate can support dozens of people around them.
Content & Destigmatisation
Creates media that shifts culture — normalising mental health conversations for young adults across Aotearoa and beyond.
