#SameHere Global is a mental health movement that normalizes conversations about mental health through presentations, workshops, and implementation sessions that take the form of professional development and assembly programs, focused on culture development to create a peer support network where everyone feels like they are on the same team. It recognizes that everyone is impacted to various degrees on a mental health continuum and that all individuals are able to help one another.


The #SameHere Schools programs designed for K-12 through higher education address the growing pressures students face through early, proactive intervention. Guided by a 5 Pillar model, the programs foster environments where it is safe to speak up, easier to find peer support, and more natural to seek help. Schools are equipped with age-appropriate strategies including mental wellness normalization, a shared check-in language, resilience-building activities, and Gym for the Brain exercises that strengthen the mind body connection.


The movement introduces tools like the SameHere Scale and STARR (Stress and Trauma Active Release and Rewiring) exercises so students and staff can track linear nervous system changes to their mental health with a common language and take action in real time. The SameHere Scale app also serves as a train the trainer tool, enabling schools to sustain and grow culture development long after implementation, with a focus on lasting impact and whole community support.
