The Lighthouse Initiative
Harnessing the power of community to positively affect mental wellbeing.
Mental wellbeing is a state in which people can realize their abilities, learn and work effectively, and cope with the stresses of life. It is a basic human right, and therefore, it is incumbent upon a community to provide an environment in which mental health is not only possible, but is encouraged and supported.
With this in mind, with the support of the Ridgewood YMCA, we created THE LIGHTHOUSE INTIATIVE.
Together, we are stronger and can be more impactful.

The Mission
Our mission is to proactively promote positive mental wellness for the individual, and for the community as a whole, through conversation, collaboration, and education. By harnessing the collective wisdom and experience of our town’s professionals and organizations, we will explore opportunities and implement strategies to move the needle toward more robust community mental health, while striving to ensure resources are available to those in need.
