Erika's Lighthouse
Depression is the #1 risk factor for suicide and nearly 20% of children will suffer from this illness before they reach adulthood. Although common and serious, 80% of young people with depression are undiagnosed and untreated due to a lack of awareness and pervasive cultural stigma. Erika’s Lighthouse is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and raising awareness about adolescent depression, encouraging good mental health and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health issues. By providing free, effective and teen-centered depression education to middle school and high school communities, Erika's Lighthouse provides hope, eliminates stigma and protects young lives.
