At Thumbs Up for Mental Health, we believe in building a future where young people feel supported, understood, and empowered to take charge of their mental health. Our youth programs are designed to help kids, teens, and young adults grow emotionally, build resilience, and know they are never alone.
A safe space to talk, learn, and connect.
Our after-school program gives students in grades 5–12 the opportunity to build friendships, grow their emotional awareness, and participate in hands-on activities centered around mental health and kindness.
Fun, connection, and mental wellness all summer long.
Our summer program brings together youth for two hours each week to focus on emotional growth, social skills, and wellness—all while having fun!
Because being a young adult is hard—and you don’t have to do it alone.
Adultish is our young adult program designed to support individuals ages 16–19 as they navigate big life transitions, stress, and mental health challenges. From casual conversations to games and group activities, Adultish offers space to connect and breathe.
We’re here to help you find the right support.
