Team Stronger 2gether Inc is a youth led community wellness movement. In our world of more health information and awareness and more access to mental health services, community health outcomes continue to decline. Something is missing! We believe that community strength and unity through community health practices is more powerful than “self care”.
Our student interns provide free workshops to schools, families, businesses, faith organizations, community organizations, and local government agencies. We have used research based practices to create content that emphasizes mind/body/spirit/source of strength strategies and daily habits. Our “4 Life Skills for a Lifetime” are the foundation for healthy communities. Empowering our Community Elders and developing Wisdom Warriors that not only practice these Life Skills but also learn how to teach them to others. Daily practicing and teaching others: breath work/stress response skills, physical health practices (sleep/exercise/nutrition/hydration), the power of living in gratitude, and catching negativity is the power of Team Stronger 2gether.
Your contribution helps us create paid internships that are currently volunteer positions. There is a severe shortage across all behavioral health roles currently. Counselors, Therapists, Psychologists, Social Workers, Psychiatrists, and other health professionals are in short supply. This shortage will increase as demand for mental health services grows. Human connection, empathy, and compassion will be in even more demand in this age of Artificial Intelligence. Team Stronger 2gether Inc. is positioned to help reduce this shortage and increase behavioral health professionals of color.
We are currently working with schools and community organizations to bring our message of community strength, 4 Life Skills for a Lifetime, and working 2gether is greater than being divided. Team Stronger 2gether Inc has been building up to this city wide community wellness movement since 1997.

Overall my experience with working with Team Stronger 2gether has honestly been such an eye opener. I am really thankful to be apart of this because it lets me help my community in many different ways

I am a 17-year-old and I was introduced to this class a year ago. Coming into this class I was very short-tempered and angry since I was going through a lot at home with my parents, my mental health wasn't the best, and on top of that I was slacking in school so I clearly wasn't in the best state. This class has helped me a lot with self-reflection and actually gaining motivation to do things both at home, in school, and in life.
Honestly it has to be the best class I've taken in all my years of high school. All of the life skills that we've learned over the years have really made me aware of how to better myself.
