YOU ARE NOT ALONE

“At The RedShirt Foundation, we meet the challenge of supporting the mental health of our kids using data driven solutions, backed by science, in a supportive and compassionate environment.”

​

- Sarah Chingren, Founder of The RedShirt Foundation

SUPPORT

Kids need a genuine, authentic, and safe environment where they feel held and free. ​Our fun, educational, and explorative programs are kid led and kid centered to create sustainable and long-term results.

EMPOWER

With our programs, kids are empowered through owning their development. Kids learn about themselves, how to overcome challenges, and to become the leaders they are meant to be.

What We Do

The Redshirt Foundation implements comprehensive programming around mental health and empowerment topics, including pre- and post-intervention programs. We help communities identify areas where children are needing additional resources and work with multiple organizations to connect them with the right resources.

 

Everything now is reactionary; instead, let's get ahead of the problems by reinforcing children's support systems and implementing more comprehensive drug and brain health programs. 

​

Our children are our most important resource and one child lost to suicide is one child too many. If we can empower them and educate them, they can revolutionize our communities and our world.

​

Because Vincent's story shouldn’t be anyone else’s; our children are struggling, and adults aren't leading the way.
