Our Mission

Our Mission


Our mission is to improve children’s mental health and wellness and support families by providing educational tools, resources and awareness events.

We encourage families to recognize symptoms, overcome the stigma and reach out for help. Through prevention, early intervention and holistic treatment, we believe many of the big problems facing today’s youth can be transformed within a generation.

Our Vision


Our vision is to destigmatize mental health challenges and to increase awareness to normalize conversation and encourage families to reach out.

We provide educational resources to help parents, educators, and health care providers increase children's emotional development through Piggie Bear's fundamental lessons.

We donate Piggie Bear educational resources and comfort tools to children in hospitals, foster care facilities, shelters, and military families.

We provide clinical resources and holistic healing to children that experience mental health challenges for under-served and at-risk youth.
