Breaking the Stigma Around Mental Health
UMatter is a powerful, teen-led program designed for students in grades 9, 10, and 11. Using the tools of friendship and resilience, we’re working together to break the stigma surrounding mental health challenges. This is a safe space where no one has to feel alone.
Support From Teens Who Understand
At UMatter, we believe in the power of peers supporting peers. Our program empowers teens to create strong networks of friendship and understanding, helping each other face life’s daily stresses and obstacles. Together, we can turn feelings of anxiety, isolation, or sadness into hope, motivation, and belonging.
Preparing for a Brighter Future
We’re here to do more than just provide support; we’re here to help teens build the skills they need for future success. By fostering resilience and self-confidence, UMatter helps young people move forward with courage and purpose.
A Community for Everyone
UMatter isn’t just for those struggling with their mental health—it’s for anyone who wants to make a difference and be part of something bigger. We all have unique gifts to share, and at UMatter, you’ll discover just how much YOU matter.
