Overview

Mission

The organization works to eliminate bullying in schools by training students, parents and teachers to create a school-wide climate of kindness, to develop strong mental health habits and learn suicide prevention skills.

What it reported doing in 2023

The organization has assisted thousands of individuals this year. Our program assists in recognizing specific behaviors of mental disorders, while incorporating positive strategies and accommodations into daily interactions with students, parents, and colleagues. When participants complete all components of emotional wellness 180, they have the tools to proactively identify ways to build supportive and positive relationships among all in the school community (students, teachers, and parents). Our online program has certified over 160,000 in mental health and emotional wellness. We have taught over 315,000 students in anti-bullying, mental health, leadership, suicide awareness. Quote from a school "although we had many students in the leadership training, they really enjoyed making a personal connection with charles and being able to ask questions. That helped them stay engaged. The trainers made valuable connections with students. My personal highlight besides all the positive psychology and reaching students who are in crisis. I won't forget that or my entire experience with the anti-bullying coalition." laurie counselor cedar middle

Operating model

Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
