Women Improving Mental Health
Skyland Trail Associates are women business and civic leaders who help raise awareness about mental health and introduce Skyland Trail as a resource for mental health treatment and education. Associates also support Skyland Trail and the clients we serve through fundraising and volunteer service activities.

Associates Membership
New members are welcome at any time and may join as an annual member for $100. Three-year memberships are available for $250.
Associates Fund
Skyland Trail Associates contribute to our mission throughout the year through donations to the Associates Fund. Associates select an area of importance to fund each year. To date, funds raised have purchased a 15-passenger van, an EKG machine, network technology, and important campus improvements.
Associates Spring Luncheon
Supported by generous sponsors, the Associates Spring Luncheon offers mental health education and raises more than $80,000 annually.
Volunteering
Associates members volunteer to enhance client services and help make Skyland Trail a welcoming, home-away-from-home for our clients. Associates support Arts in the Garden each spring, assemble welcome bags for new clients, and decorate our campuses for the winter holidays.
Networking
Associates meet to learn about mental health topics from experts in the field, get an inside look at Skyland Trail, and get to know fellow members.
