FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRETOR
Dear Friends,
At Erika’s Lighthouse, we believe every student should have the knowledge and tools they need to care for their mental health. This isn’t just a statement, we put it into action. We’re proud to provide our high-quality, comprehensive depression education and suicide prevention curriculum to schools across the country, at zero cost.Â
This year over one million students were directly impacted by Erika’s Lighthouse curriculum in 49 states and 26 countries! Not only is this an incredible achievement, it also marks the successful completion of our Vision 2025 Strategic Plan.Â
Erika’s Lighthouse donors, volunteers, educators, students and staff are changing the narrative around mental health. As the preeminent depression awareness and suicide prevention curriculum in the United States, we’re working every day to ensure that every student feels supported in their mental health and knows how to get help for themselves or their friends. With classroom education, empowerment clubs, family engagement, and policy and staff training, we’re opening up life-saving conversations and meeting students where they are. And with every school that starts using our curriculum, we’re working to end the youth mental health crisis.
Thank you for your dedication and shared commitment to helping students thrive.
Sincerely,
Brandon Combs – Executive Director
