T.R.U.S.T. (Teens Reach Us Starting Today)

Our vision is for youth to feel empowered by knowing there are other youth experiencing similar mental health challenges and knowing that there are resources that are available that care. With these resources available, it would help students create the roadmap they need to thrive in school, and empower others which encourages youth to effectively navigate their mental health journey.

Eudaimonia

Eudaimonia utilizes the power of parent-child bonds to inspire a generation of adults and children into fostering meaningful and communicative relationships, exercising their full potential of self-actualization, and living healthy, fulfilling lives. We are doing this through parents in order to give students the most intimate and personalized care possible.

Pointing Out the Obvious

Our work will bring a change to how mental health is perceived and accessed in our community. The work we do will ensure everyone knows where to go and what to look for if they seek help for their mental health. The changes we make will inspire others to promote the availability of our resources and services for mental health.
