Why Us Kids?

Mission Statement

My mission is to raise awareness about the youth mental health crisis and to empower kids and young adults to speak out about their traumas. The current goals of our organization include advocacy for mental health and trauma counselors in an elementary school setting.

We deserve a great chance to grow up be healthy and productive adults.

WhyUsKids is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for youth mental health, particularly by promoting the integration of Trauma Counselors in all schools, starting at the elementary level. Our guiding principle, ‘Prevention not Intervention,’ underscores our mission. All donations made to WhyUsKids are tax-deductible as permitted by law, and our Federal Tax Exempt ID is 93-2603111. Your generous contributions are instrumental in sustaining our vital work.
