Hope For The Day’s signature mental health education programming is clinically backed and designed for administration, teachers, caregivers, and students ages 12+.
Hope For The Day’s education programming is inspired by lived-experience best practices and endorsed by H.F.T.D.'s clinical advisory board. The goal of our work is to provide tools for early recognition and intervention to disrupt the highest risk factors for mental health crises and suicide. We engage all audiences from adolescents(12+) to seniors, and we can engage any community space including, academic, professional, or general populations.
In 2021 41% of students felt persistently sad or hopeless and nearly one-third experienced poor mental health.
70% of teens across all genders, races and family-income levels say that anxiety and depression are significant problems among their peers
7.3 Million students age 3 to 17 have been diagnosed with anxiety or depression, in comparison to 5.8 million in 2016.
