Our Mission:
Our nonprofit organization is dedicated to providing essential mental health support and resources to children in grades 4th through 8th in low socioeconomic areas. We recognize the importance of addressing mental health challenges early on and believe that every child deserves access to the tools and resources they need to thrive. By bringing our foundation directly to schools, we aim to make mental health support easily accessible and destigmatize seeking help for mental health issues. Our work is inspired by the memory of Donte Lee and Gabby Blakely who struggled and lost the battle against mental health. We are committed to creating a brighter and healthier future for all children.
Our Plan:
We'll be visiting different schools every nine weeks during the school semester, totaling twice a year, to organize a pop-up mental health fair. The mental health fair will feature various stations, including gratitude jars, a children's mental health diary, worry boxes, art therapy, sensory stations, emotion meme tables, and more. These stations aim to promote alternative methods for children to express their emotions beyond verbal communication. The aim is to equip these students with the necessary tools to manage their emotions effectively, with the hope of reducing the rate of suicide among young children and athletes in our community, promoting effective communication of emotions, and ongoing monitoring of the mental and physical well-being of these students. Additionally, we'll host a mental health seminar for educators to enhance their ability to identify signs of abuse. Parents will also participate in this initiative to improve their awareness of indicators of suicide, bullying, and sexual harassment in their children. They'll receive resources and advice aimed at enhancing communication with their child, offering diverse strategies tailored to individual needs.
