Giving Tuesday is Tuesday, December 2 — a global movement of generosity. But for the young people in our lives, every day presents a critical need for support, resources and hope
The youth mental health crisis is not just a headline; it’s a lived experience for millions of students and their families. At Erika’s Lighthouse, we believe that every student deserves the knowledge and tools they need to care for their mental health. Our mission is to ensure no student feels alone in their struggle.
Erika’s Lighthouse provides high-quality, comprehensive depression education and suicide prevention curriculum to schools across the country, at zero cost.
We believe in prevention, which is why our programs are built on our Four Pillar Philosophy—addressing the mental health of an entire school community through Classroom Education, Empowerment Clubs, Family Engagement, and Policy & Staff Training.
This comprehensive approach works. After engaging with our programs:
Your support is the only reason we can keep our programs free and easily accessible to busy educators everywhere. A donation to Erika’s Lighthouse isn’t just a gift; it is a vital part of the collective action required to change the mental health culture in our schools.
While one-time gifts on Giving Tuesday are incredible, the true work of changing culture requires a consistent, steady source of light. That is the power of becoming a Monthly Donor.
Monthly gifts provide us with the dependable funding we need to plan ahead, scale our programs, and ensure that every educator, parent, and student who needs our resources can access them immediately. They sustain the light of hope all year long.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to become a pillar of year-round support.
