We create safe spaces for educators, youth workers, and caregivers to
​learn, practice, and activate trauma-informed care and social-emotional learning. 
Children and youth who come from hard places are exposed to trauma and toxic stress, and are at far greater risk for delayed mental and social development, as well as poor academic behaviors and performance.

Mental Health Matters envisions a community where all adults are empowered through trauma-informed care to promote social-emotional learning, improve academic behaviors, and transform their relationships with youth.

We work with families, caregivers, educators, and youth workers to:
  • Learn the signs of trauma and toxic stress
  • Practice strategies for transforming challenging behaviors
  • Activate a plan to enhance their relationships with youth
