Now More Than Ever
Help us make a positive impact
on our students' mental health
WHAT WE DO
We focus on introducing and sponsoring mental health resources, support, and instruction to K through 12 students and youth groups.
RESOURCES

Research and donate impactful and fun picture books for grades K-5, which are integrated into SEL plans. These books effectively teach young children ways to identify, manage and regulate different emotions.

Bring to schools and youth groups, young adult speakers who share impactful personal stories of mental health struggles and ways they found hope and recovery.
-
Offer art, music and pet therapy to help children deal with stress in unique and creative ways.
