What makes the mission and work of Erika’s Lighthouse meaningful to you?

Erika’s Lighthouse has developed a mental wellness and suicide awareness and prevention program that is accessible and acceptable to educators and youth and also incorporates effective pedagogical techniques for today’s youth and adult learners. The evaluation data from our multi-state implementation of Erika’s Lighthouse suggest that after only a single session of Erika’s Lighthouse, youth improve in their understanding of mental health, school connectedness, and ability/willingness to connect with trusted adults. Our schools are fortunate to have this mental health curriculum that is evidence-informed, youth- and adult-friendly, and available at no cost.
