Lincoln Families' 2026 Emerald Ball for Mental Health Awareness

About The Emerald Ball

Founded in 1883, Lincoln Families provides supportive mental health services that help children and families experiencing poverty and trauma build stronger, more stable futures. Through 12 programs across Alameda and Contra Costa counties, our work focuses on improving academic achievement, enhancing family stability, and building long-term economic mobility by ensuring children feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. We are committed to creating systemic change to strengthen our work in schools and communities, to remove barriers to care, and to advance social and racial justice. To learn more, visit www.LincolnFamilies.org, or follow us on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube @Lincoln1883.
