SHE CARES: The Story Behind the Mentor

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re proud to launch SHE CARES: The Story Behind the Mentor — a special video series featuring powerful, one-on-one conversations with our SHE CARES mentors.

In these candid interviews, mentors open up about their career journeys and personal experiences with mental well-being. The series reveals an often-overlooked truth: the strongest leaders are frequently those who prioritize their mental health.

Through these honest and inspiring stories, we hope to empower young women to embrace both ambition and mental wellness as they navigate their own unique paths.

SHE CARES is a free, virtual mentoring program designed to support the mental health and self-expression of girls and young women. Mentees and mentors connect for 30-minute weekly sessions on Zoom, with space for creativity, conversation, and connection.

Whether it’s creating art together, reading a book, or just talking about life, our mentors provide a consistent, supportive presence each week.

• Mentors are trained in Motivational Interviewing — a mentee-led approach focused on listening, encouragement, and empowerment.

• All mentors undergo background checks to ensure a safe environment.

• No mental health diagnosis is required — this is a space for anyone seeking connection and support.

• Enrollment is rolling — it’s never too late to sign up!
