HelpGuide has grown from a small local project at the Rotary Club of Santa Monica to an independent, internationally recognized mental health and wellness nonprofit that helps millions each month. Through it all, our mission has remained the same: to provide empowering, evidence-based information that you can use to help yourself and your loved ones.
We firmly believe that no matter what you’re going through, no matter how bad you feel—there is always hope. You’re not powerless in the face of mental illness and other life challenges. And as a free digital resource available to anyone with an internet connection, at any time day or night, you can count on HelpGuide to be there for you whenever you need guidance and support.
We acknowledge that we are situated in the heart of Treaty 6, traditional lands of First Nation and Métis. Our recognition of this land is an act of reconciliation and an expression of our gratitude to those whose territory we reside on. Let us forge together towards a relationship of reconciliation, respect, understanding, and healing.
