About Us

At Teen Care Network, we believe that every young person deserves access to mental health support, resources, and a community that truly understands their struggles. Founded in response to a heartbreaking tragedy, our mission has evolved into a movement—one that seeks to break the stigma surrounding mental health in Black communities and other communities of color and to equip young adults with the tools needed to thrive.

Revolutionizing the way we handle our mental health. 

Our Mission 

Our mission is to bridge the gap between care and community by ensuring that every young person—especially those from historically marginalized backgrounds—has access to the mental health support, resources, and safe spaces they need to thrive.

We are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health in Black communities and other communities of color by fostering open conversations, increasing awareness, and providing tangible, culturally responsive support. Through mentorship, advocacy, and innovative programs, we aim to empower youth to prioritize their well-being, build resilience, and create a future where mental health is embraced as an essential part of a thriving life.

Our Vision

We envision a world where mental health is not just accessible but embraced—a world where young people, regardless of their background, have the tools, access, and support they need to thrive.


We’re not just building a nonprofit—we’re building a movement. Join us as we change the narrative on mental health and bridge the gap between care and community!​
