Erika's Lighthouse is a 501(C)(3) charitable organization based in Winnetka, Illinois. Founded in 2004, our mission is to "shed light on adolescent depression" through understanding, early identification, education and most of all, stigma busting. It is estimated that from 15-20% of children under 20 will suffer at least one depressive episode. Often, even their close friends don't know the depth of their suffering. Thanks to generous grants and donations, we are able to offer free of charge a variety of materials, programs and activities designed to help teens in middle school and beyond, their parents, teachers and health professionals identify depression and the behaviors that can lead to suicide. Thank you for visiting our website. We hope we have been able to help you on your journey. Remember, you are not alone.
