Programs

Our programs work upstream to meet students where they are. By using real teens to tell real stories about depression, students are more likely to resonate with our programs.

Our Suite of Programs

A Full Suite of Tier-1 Programs, Free

Erika’s Lighthouse provides schools with a full suite of tier-1 mental health prevention and early identification programs.

Every school should have programs that address all four pillars: Classroom Education, Empowerment Clubs, Family Engagement, Policy & Staff Training.

However, it does not have to be an Erika’s Lighthouse program.

10 Advantages of Our Programs

Wraparound Programming
We don’t just offer a standalone curriculum, we believe in impacting the whole school by promoting inclusive school cultures through our four pillars of programs- Classroom Education, Empowerment Clubs, Family Engagement and School Policy & Staff.

Real Teens, Real Empowerment
We believe that the voices of real teens telling their real stories can make a difference. Our diverse, authentic videos speak directly to each and every teen in a classroom.

Skills-Based
Our programs do not just impact a point in time for students who may be experiencing mental illness. They are designed to teach students the life skills they need to find information and seek help if they experience a mental health issue one year, two years or even ten years later.

Depression is Relatable
We believe that more upstream approaches to school mental health make a difference. Our programs reach more students by talking about depression, a common, yet serious, mood disorder that acts as an entry conversation for mental health and suicide prevention.

Self Referral Empowers Students
Self-referral cards that empower students to take control of their mental health by asking for help for themselves or a friend. When empowered and supported– the teens can make the best decisions for themselves.

Impacting Every Stakeholder
We strive to positively impact every stakeholder in a school community – students, staff and families. By offering everyone a common vocabulary, universal handouts and easy-to-use language, schools can normalize conversations around mental health.

One-on-One Support
We provide individualized support for educators, counselors, social workers and other school personnel to meaningfully implement our programs in districts, schools or classrooms.

Turn-Key
We make talking about mental health easy. All of our resources are designed to be ready to use by any student, educator or family member that needs them.

Customizable Resources
We want our information and resources to be meaningful to every stakeholder – students, staff and families. Our curricula are adaptable with one to four-day lessons and over 70% of our resources can be customized with school logos, specific names of individuals and more.

No Cost – Always
Our resources and the support we offer to help implement them will always be available at no cost to schools.
