The Anyone Program

Any adult. Any youth. Anywhere. Anyone can be a lifeline.

You don't need to be a doctor, a therapist, or a mental health professional to make a difference in a young person’s life. You just need to be a caring adult.

The Anyone Program is a refreshingly accessible, jargon-free suite of tools designed to empower the front lines of our communities—the camp counselors, the coaches, the youth pastors, and the mentors. We’ve streamlined the content to focus on what matters most: connection, mental health literacy, and help-seeking.

School Professionals: If you are looking for school-based curriculum, please Create An Account to gain access to all of our no-cost, fully supported programs.

Who is this for?

The Anyone Program was built for the spaces where youth feel most at home:

Summer Camps & After-School Programs

Youth Sports Leagues & Martial Arts Studios

Faith-Based Youth Groups & Scouting

Arts & Community Centers

Anywhere Youth Gather

Looking for 1-on-1 Implementation Support?

Expert guidance to help you scale.

While The Anyone Program is designed to be turnkey, we know that implementing mental health literacy may require a deeper level of partnership. We see the value of this high-level support every day with our school partners.

Because our core mission focuses on providing free, robust support to school communities, 1-on-1 consultation for The Anyone Program is made possible through state or local sponsorships. These partnerships unlock dedicated training sessions and personalized guidance to help you maximize your impact.
