We know choosing an effective Tier-1 mental health program can be overwhelming.
We want to partner with you to ensure your students, staff and families have the vocabulary and values to support mental health. Erika’s Lighthouse, and other programs, are here to help you promote an inclusive school culture.
Pick the Right Tier-1 Solution for You
Erika’s Lighthouse knows there are other effective programs for your school to use. In fact, Erika’s Lighthouse believes more strongly that schools follow the Four Pillar Model rather than use our programs. But, we are here for you and know our programs work. Erika’s Lighthouse provides a comprehensive suite of tier-1 curriculum, programs and resources that impact everyone in a school building.

How is Erika's Lighthouse free?
Erika’s Lighthouse remains free (and has for over 20 years) due to the generosity of our donors. We believe every student deserves good mental health and no child should feel alone in their depression. This foundational belief propels our mission forward. We are ready and available to support any school, anywhere.
Is there a waiting list to access curriculum and support?
There is no waiting list to access curriculum or 1-on-1 support. Erika’s Lighthouse is an educate-the-educator model, meaning we are support local school professionals to implement our curriculum and programs in their buildings. You can create a free portal account today and get access to all of our curriculum, programs and resources today.
Is Erika's Lighthouse a full suite of programs or can curriculum be used as standalone programs?
Both are true. Erika’s Lighthouse curriculum is designed to be an integrated, comprehensive suite that promotes inclusive school cultures around mental health.Â
However, we also know every school is different and want professionals to identify programs that will resonate their students. If a school is using Signs of Suicide for Classroom Education, Erika’s Lighthouse is happy to partner with schools for Empowerment Clubs or Family Engagement.
We believe in collaboration and impact. We want every school partner to be an inclusive school culture for students regardless of programming.
