Mission & Approach

Be Strong is a national charity on a mission to save and improve the lives of young people through a peer-to-peer approach, supported by trusted partnerships and best-in-class resources that strengthen mental, emotional, and relational health, build resilience, strengthen access to basic needs, and help prevent bullying. We focus on ensuring young people can access help quickly, clearly, and without stigma, at no cost to them or their families.

Through peer-to-peer leadership, trusted care partnerships, community events, and our evidence-based Resilience Program curriculum, Be Strong simplifies the path to support and helps people move from moments of need to sustained care. By keeping support visible, trusted, and accessible, we ensure young people can find help quickly and clearly when it matters most. This approach strengthens coping skills, builds belonging, aligns solutions with real community needs, and helps prevent struggles from becoming silence, isolation from becoming crisis, and despair from turning into tragedy.

Struggle is a part of life; resilience is built when young people are equipped to navigate it with strength, support, and clear paths to help.
