A New Way to Work: Our Resource Portal is Getting an Upgrade

Written by Kristina Kins | May 27, 2026 3:43:13 PM

Change is in the air this summer! We are thrilled to announce that we are officially transitioning to a brand-new, updated Resource Portal. We know that system changes can feel daunting, but this move is all about making your life easier. We’ve listened to your feedback and built a space that is faster, more intuitive, and packed with the tools and programs you know, along with new program topics that will continue to resonate with your school community.

 As a leader in Tier-1 mental health programming, our goal is to ensure that every educator has the knowledge and tools they need to care for their students' mental health with as few barriers as possible. 

What will be different? 

Our old system served us well, but it was time for a refresh. The new portal isn't just a coat of paint; it’s a comprehensive, modernized update built to help you cultivate a healthy Culture of Care across your school district. 

  • Expanded Program Topics: We are expanding our core classroom education modules with brand-new Tier-1 curriculum configurations covering anxiety, digital wellness, and positive relationships, and more. 
  • Searching Less, Finding More: Advanced filtering and a new search tool mean no more digging through various pages.
  • Improved Staff Training Course: Our Suicide Prevention Course for school professionals will be smoother and more intuitive.

The Transition Timeline 

To ensure a smooth handoff before the new school year begins, we’ll be rolling things out over the summer. By August, our new portal will be your official and primary home for all things Erika’s Lighthouse.

What You Need to Do

Luckily, the heavy lifting is on us! However, to make sure you're ready for Day 1:

  1. Check Your Inbox: Keep an eye out for updates on the exact timing of the transition.
  2. Update your Login: You will receive an email about safely resetting your password for the new portal.
  3. Attend a virtual walk-through: We’ll be hosting 30-minute "Drop-In" webinars in late summer to show you around the new layout.

We’re Here to Help 

We are committed to making this transition as seamless as possible so you can focus on student wellbeing. If you run into any issues or just have a question about where your favorite resource can be found, our team is standing by.
