HelpGuide Highlights
Our Mission
HelpGuide’s mission is to empower people with the information and insight they need to improve their mental health and make healthy changes.

We don't just educate you – we empower you.
We offer you the guidance and encouragement you need to find hope, get motivated, take charge of your mental health, and feel better.

We highlight what you need to know to help yourself.
We focus on what you need to know to understand the challenges you face, make informed decisions, and take positive steps.

As a nonprofit, our mission is to help, not profit off you.
We don’t view mental health as a money-making opportunity or answer to corporate interests. The result: integrity you can trust.
