It’s time for communities to start healing and thriving.
Trusted Sources is a collection of front-line mental health advocates who are dedicated to making a difference. We proactively engage communities by raising awareness, educating, equipping, and empowering. Our goal is critical: to connect families to trustworthy resources early in the intervention process so that they can heal and thrive.
Our society faces a mental health crisis, investing billions to fix broken individuals. However, prevention is key. Trusted Sources focuses on going "upstream" by empowering parents and teenagers to build strong, healthy relationships that deter mental health issues.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"I had a pretty good breakthrough with my son last night after the amazing event. It was great to hear from the teens about their perspective on "how" they want to connect with their parents. Keep up the good work and thanks again for introducing this group to my life!”
Rocky
“We had such a wonderful experience with Trusted Sources, both in preparing for the recent events, as well as benefiting from the services and resources you all have provided our church family and community! We're still hearing positive comments from students, parents, grandparents, etc. about how meaningful the sessions were.”
Windy
"Attending the Moms for Moms event was a delightful experience. The gourmet food prepared by the chef was a true treat, and the discussions about teen depression were both enlightening and relatable. I left with valuable tips on how to better connect with my child, and the abundance of resources and support offered made this event a game-changer for us moms. Thank you for an unforgettable evening"
