Workplace Wellness Project
Turnkey resources to reduce stigma and normalize conversations.
At Erika’s Lighthouse, we’ve always believed that every student deserves good mental health. But we know that mission doesn’t end at graduation. Our workplace partners believe—and we agree—that every employee, and their family, deserves that same level of support.
The Workplace Wellness Project is a collection of refreshingly simple, ready-to-use resources designed to help your organization promote an inclusive culture around mental health, both in the office and their homes.
No barriers. No professional training required. Just the tools you need to support your team and their families.

Four Components for a Healthy, Supportive Culture
We’ve stripped away the complexity of corporate wellness. The Workplace Wellness Project is built on four areas that allow any employee, manager, or executive to champion mental health without needing to be an expert.
Why does mental health matter?
Mental health isn't a luxury—it’s the foundation of a productive and engaged team. When employees feel supported, they are more resilient, more creative, and better equipped to navigate the daily demands of their roles. By prioritizing wellness, you aren't just being a good employer; you are building a stronger, more sustainable organization.
Our "Whole-Home" approach recognizes that an employee’s focus at work is often tied to their family’s well-being. By providing resources that support both the individual and the parent, you reduce burnout and foster a culture of deep loyalty. A workplace that talks openly about mental health becomes a place where people don’t just show up—they thrive.

Living the Values
Normalize the conversation across your entire organization. These activities turn your physical or digital workspace into a supportive environment where mental health is a visible, daily priority, ensuring that no employee feels they have to struggle in silence.
Awareness Campaigns
Awareness Campaigns demonstrate that your organization cares deeply about your team’s mental health. These campaigns can establish these values, vocabulary and culture.
Hang posters around the workplace to initiate and normalize conversations around mental health.
Provide educational and mood boosting activities around the workplace for employees to learn and engage.
Group Activities can put Awareness into Action. Providing interactive opportunities among the team to discuss mental health reduces stigma.
Mission in Motion
Employee engagement and volunteerism may be a key piece of your organization’s culture. Erika’s Lighthouse offers ways employees can be engaged remotely or host their own volunteer initiative.
Professional Staff as Professional Volunteers
Erika’s Lighthouse is seeking highly-qualified professionals to support our growth and advancement. Your team can play a vital role on ours by using their professional knowledge and skills.

Looking for 1-on-1 Implementation Support?
Expert guidance to help you scale.
While The Workplace Wellness Project is designed to be turnkey, we know that starting mental health conversations 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 Workplace Wellness Project is made possible through sponsorships. These partnerships unlock dedicated training sessions, personalized guidance and custom family workshops to help maximize the impact in your workplace.
Our Impact Partners Supporting Their Community
Erika’s Lighthouse is proud to collaborate with corporations, foundations and other funders to provide expert-led implementation support. Thanks to these dedicated partnerships, community leaders in these areas can access 1-on-1 consultation and implementation guidance at no cost.
