One mission: make mental health skills more accessible.
The roots
Inspiring Children Foundation
The 501(c)(3) behind the Not Alone Program (Challenge, Summit and Awards), serving youth for 25 years. It’s where our methodology was built and tested.
The curriculum
Wise Friend
Structured, non-clinical mental and emotional fitness training for teams, schools and organizations. Wise Friend powers the Summit’s experiential design and hands-on tools, built from that same 25-year foundation.
Mental health, activated.
