Our Mission
To empower adolescents living with chronic conditions, grief, mental health, and other life challenges, as well as their teachers and health professionals, by connecting them through inclusive communities of support and practice. We aim to enhance knowledge and improve care, health, and well-being.
The World Health Organization’s charter drives our Mission:
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Our programs improve lives and help youth (ages 13-23) cope with the daily challenges they may face.
We provide these services at no cost:
Private, Safe, Secure, and Moderated Communities: These enable peer-to-peer engagement to connect youth and teens facing life challenges with clinician moderators and youth mentors with lived experience to help them cope and live well.
Online Communities of Practice: These facilitate peer-to-peer engagement, knowledge exchange, education, and sharing of best practices for pediatric health care practitioners and child and youth mental health professionals.
