Counselors for Change is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization piloting its global initiative in Brevard County, Florida with a mission to increase mental health awareness, education, outreach, and advocacy to youth and the collective communities of individuals and organizations that raise them in order to provide all invested entities with resources needed to actualize collective potential.
Counselors for Change is a high impact coalition of mental health professionals, community advocates, student activists, and partnering agencies dedicated to providing community events, workshops, and outreach programs to school-aged youth as well as the adults and organizations entrusted with their well-being. We define a counselor as one who advocates for the well-being of another and believe that it takes an informed, connected tribe to raise a resilient generation.
We believe that mental health is at the center of individual and collective well-being and holds the greatest capacity to create meaningful and lasting positive change in society. It is through reducing stigma, increasing programs that focus on equity and inclusion, and intentional efforts to distribute information and resources that engage and empower individuals and communities with a deeper understanding of mental health and well-being that we have the greatest impact.
The early ideas for the organization began over two decades ago when the founder, a public school educator at the time, quickly recognized the overwhelming need for and lack of counseling resources in schools. She noted that many of the challenges that surfaced in the classroom were not academic in nature and the stressors students faced within and beyond the school boundaries needed to be adequately identified and addressed for true learning and growth to take place.
