Connect, collaborate, and create real change in mental health.
Together, we’re changing the story; Advancing mental health for future generations.
When we reduce stigma, more people speak up and seek help—early. That openness fuels education, drives demand for better access to care, and makes collaboration across sectors possible. By normalizing mental health conversations, we strengthen our schools, healthcare systems, and communities—ensuring no one struggles alone and every story gets the chance to continue.
Building hope through connection
Our Work
At Chad’s Legacy Project, we are committed to breaking down barriers in mental health. We are not just advocating for change—we are actively working to build the systems, networks, and conversations that make mental health care better for everyone.
Reducing Stigma
We equip schools and communities with the knowledge and tools to teach mental health as a core subject. By providing evidence-based resources, we help students understand themselves and others, foster a life-saving culture of empathy and support.
Improving Access
We advocate for better systems, fund peer support initiatives, and connect people to critical resources. From scholarships for future mental health professionals to materials for rural communities, we’re working to ensure that care isn’t a privilege—it’s a right.
Silo Reduction
Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We bring together educators, clinicians, nonprofits, and funders to share knowledge, pool resources, and innovate faster. By working together we reach people where they are — amplifying our impact.
Destigmatizing mental health is the key that unlocks everything we do. When stigma fades, people seek help, schools teach openly, and systems work together. It’s how we move from silence to support—and build a future where no one faces mental health struggles alone.
Mental health matters; help us prove it.
From the heartbreak of loss a movement was born—Chad’s Legacy Project (CLP). What began as a personal tragedy has grown into a national mission to reimagine how we talk about, teach, and treat mental health.
CLP is actively working eliminate the ideological and structural barriers that keep people from getting the effective and compassionate help they deserve.
Join us in turning momentum into movement—and quality mental health care into a priority for all.
We don’t end the sentence; We change the story.
