Peggy Kubert Model Schools

The Peggy Kubert Model School in Mental Health Excellence is a recognition from Erika’s Lighthouse designed to identify and recognize schools that are committed to promoting good mental health by focusing on prevention and early identification.

Every school can become a Peggy Kubert Model School in Mental Health Excellence by leveraging the full suite of Erika’s Lighthouse programs or identifying other programs and resources that are a fit for their community.

Schools are recognized across a series of programs that demonstrate their commitment to mental health prevention and education programs in schools.

Any school can be recognized – even those that do not use any Erika’s Lighthouse program.

As the first staff person at Erika’s Lighthouse she set the foundation for every program we offer school communities today.

She was a fierce advocate for mental health literacy, depression education and suicide prevention. She believed every child deserves good mental health and that no child should feel alone in their depression.

Her passion, commitment and brilliance lives on in our work.

The Peggy Kubert Model School in Mental Health Excellence honors her belief that any school, anywhere should have access and support to implement high-quality mental health programs.
