Be a Mindleader™
Together with Heart of Florida United Way, we've launched the Be a Mindleader campaign to spark more conversations around mental health conditions. This effort highlights expert information and helps facilitate life-changing conversations about mental health between kids and the adults in their lives. By destigmatizing mental health challenges, we can work together to create more Mindleaders in our community.

Free Mental Health Hotlines
It can be hard to be hopeful about the future when you’re feeling bad, but we want you to know that one thing won’t change: Help is always here for you. If you're feeling suicidal or have a plan to end your life, know that you’re not alone in these thoughts, and you don't have to act on them.
To get you started, these mental health hotlines are free, confidential, available in multiple languages and here for students of all ages.
You matter and your life is precious.
