When Rainn Wilson joined This Helps, we talked about how spirituality so often gets packaged and sold back to us. We chase apps, retreats, and routines when what we really need is stillness, purpose, and connection. It’s a conversation about slowing down, showing up, and finding meaning that lasts.

Across the country, students are navigating challenges that reach far beyond the classroom—and schools are doing extraordinary work to meet those needs. Academic success and mental health are not separate priorities; they are inseparable. Earlier this month, hundreds of educators, counselors, and school leaders gathered at the 9th Annual Wellness Together Conference to explore how we can build systems that treat mental health supports as essential to student learning, not optional add-ons. Deep gratitude to the educators, counselors, and advocates who continue to center student well-being in their work every day. When every classroom is both rigorous and caring—where safety and learning reinforce one another—students, educators, and communities thrive. #WellnessTogether #StudentMentalHealth #TeacherByTeacher #WholeChildLearning
As we mark World Mental Health Day 2025, it feels fitting to pause, reflect, and recommit to the insights we’ve gained and to the work still ahead. The 2025 theme, Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies, invites us to consider what resilience looks like when systems are stretched, communities are hurting, and students need support that is both immediate and enduring. Earlier this month, nearly two thousand educators, mental health professionals, students, and advocates came together in San Diego for the 9th Annual Wellness Together Conference. Keynote speakers, including the 19th and 21st U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek H. Murthy and the 10th U.S. Secretary of Education, Dr. John B. King, Jr., reflected the spirit of this year’s World Mental Health Day theme, reminding us that real progress in mental health depends on connection, collaboration, and care, especially during times of crisis. Wellness Together remains dedicated to expanding access to mental health care for all students, directly onto school campuses, removing barriers to care like transportation, insurance, cost, and stigma. Because when care exists where students learn, access isn’t interrupted by crisis. It’s consistent, familiar, and ready to respond when students, families, and educators need it most. As we honor World Mental Health Day, we celebrate every educator, school administrator, counselor, therapist, and partner showing up to support students every day. Their dedication reminds us that real access begins with human connection. That’s the work ahead, and it’s work we’re proud to keep doing, together. #WorldMentalHealthDay2025 #WellnessTogether #SchoolMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness

Thank you Wellness Together, Marlon Morgan, and Seneca Family of Agencies for such meaningful content so we can improve the lives of children and families. We LOVE your conferences Wellness Together !!!!
What an incredible few days at the Wellness Together Conference in San Diego last week! We returned connected, equipped, and inspired. The energy was amazing, from the high-level insights at the State of the State Panel on the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) to the session on integrating Certified Wellness Coaches into schools. We were even part of a live recording of the “This Helps” Podcast, where Rainn Wilson and Marlon Morgan reminded us all that “Connection is the cure.” A major highlight was cheering on our member, Seneca Family of Agencies, as they presented their innovative work on “Reducing Chronic Absenteeism Through Wraparound Services.” Sean Murphy, Jaz Ponce, and Kenosha Collins shared Seneca's flexible, holistic Compass Care model, providing concrete tools to build trust and support students and families. Their session was amazing! #wellnesstogether #WTC9

Feeling incredibly grateful for the experience of speaking at the Wellness Together Conference as an ambassador for Mirror, the mental health journaling app helping youth and families care for their minds with intention and ease. Sharing Mirror’s mission and a bit of my own journey was such a meaningful experience. I learned so much through the process and felt truly supported every step of the way at Child Mind Institute. Thank you to my supervisors, Julia Trabulsi and Michael Leyden, who guided and encouraged me over the past few months, to Yuki Kotani, MBA, who co-presented Mirror with me and brought so much clarity and detail, to Dr. Sohil Sud, who led the Mindful Tech: Exploring Mental Health Tools for Youth & Families workshop with compassion, and to every Mirror developer and youth contributor whose work made this possible. I also want to give a special shoutout to McKenna Plant, who represented BrightLife Kids with warmth and insight, and to Katie Kersnick, whose voice for Soluna brought depth and inspiration to the conversation. It was an honor to share the stage with you both. This experience reminded me how powerful collaboration can be. I’m proud to be part of a community reimagining how we support mental health. Let’s keep building and raising up digital tools that heal and connect communities! #WTC9 #WellnessTogetherConference #WellnessTogether #SchoolMentalHealth #SanDiegoConventionCenter

For youth, by youth 💚🥳 ~ Such an incredible day at the annual Wellness Together conference yesterday! Our Bring Change to Mind (BC2M) students shared their personal mental health stories and served on a panel to talk about uplifting youth voices in mental health advocacy. Blessed to learn from experts like Vivek Murthy, Dr. John B. King, Marlon Morgan, and more. And such a gift to present with the most important experts (in my opinion) -- the youth!
