OUR TEAM

Advisory Committee

Our Advisory Committee consists of mental health professionals, educators, parents, and community leaders. Those serving on the Advisory Committee are volunteers who generously offer their time and insight, helping Strive provide content of the highest quality.

Additional Content and Support

Mental health professionals and educators provide interviews, articles, and videos based on their expert knowledge and real-world experiences.

OUR MISSION

We work to reduce the stigma associated with mental health while supporting parents and other adult caregivers.

Towards that goal, we provide important information on child development and general mental health topics in addition to advocating for better supports and access to care.

Mental health providers, schools, and medical professionals are working to increase awareness of mental illness and provide necessary services within the community, but it is not enough.

Without support and treatment, mental health issues can negatively impact a child’s education, reduce their ability to have healthy friendships, and may increase the risk that they will use drugs and alcohol to cope with daily stressors.

Parents and adult caregivers have an important role in a child’s life - that’s why Strive Family Resources offers free access to accurate, timely, and relevant information to help you better understand yourself and your teens.

OUR BEGINNING

"Families need accurate information from trustworthy sources."

This very simple statement has been the foundation for Erika's work as a mental health provider since 2009, and led to the creation of the Strive Family Resources 2016.
