The Lighthouse Foundation empowers communities and transforms lives by preventing childhood trauma and supporting adults on their healing journey. The organization’s initiatives disrupt cycles of trauma, nurture healthy and connected families, and foster safer, more resilient communities.

Program initiatives include:

Shift Trauma to Love: Empowering youth and communities with trauma-informed, evidence-based practices to mitigate trauma and create a strong foundation of resilience.
Shift Anxiety to Empowerment: Transforming anxiety into empowerment through evidence-based, trauma-sensitive practices of self-esteem and self-regulation. The primary goal is to help reduce anxiety and stress for school-age youth. Particularly youth impacted by anxiety exacerbated by the pandemic to reduce absenteeism and drop-outs.
AI Economic Pathway Initiative: Mitigating economic trauma with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by providing essential knowledge and skills for future employment opportunities, particularly with communities impacted by economic trauma and with the rise of AI technology.
