Erika’s Lighthouse believes every student deserves good mental health. We are a nonprofit on a mission to provide free mental health programs to any school, anywhere.
We work to make sure no young person feels alone in their depression. Our programs teach young people how to recognize the signs of depression—in themselves and their classmates. And they learn how to seek help.
You can be an important part of our mission! We believe in equitable access—cost should not be a barrier to depression education. With your support, our programs are free for all schools.
