THE HERO COALITION
The Hero Coalition provides mental health programs for children, teens, and adults. We lead people to become heroes for themselves and each other, overcoming depression, anxiety, shame, self-doubt and bullying in all its forms. By using evidence-based psychology + relatable stories and characters people love, we transform struggles into strengths.

LIVE ·2021 Grants ChallengeMental Health Matters: The Hero Coalition
Turning kids’ struggles into strengths, The Hero Coalition’s mental health programs in Spanish and English will impact over 200,000 children, teens, and parents in 2021. Created by psychologists and co-powered by youth, these interactive programs – in LA homes, schools, and community centers - build resilience, empathy, inclusion, nonviolent conflict resolution, and family communication skills. We teach crucial, evidence-based tools to navigate racism, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, shame, and fear. Our work - free of charge - also takes preventative action against despair, loneliness, and pain, which can lead to suicide, self-harm, and addiction.
