The Skate Mind Project is a program within the New School Center for Global Mental Health in NYC. Our mission is to partner with the skateboarding community to combat stigma, raise awareness about the importance of mental health, and to provide mental health trainings in skate shops and skateparks.
By bringing mental health trainings to skate shops and parks we hope to offer some ways we can help each other navigate challenges, strengthen connections in the community, and know where to get more help when needed.
The Skate Mind Project offers trainings in Psychological First Aid, peer-to-peer mental health strategies, and working with coaches and skaters to serve as mental health ambassadors for youth.

The New School Center for Global Mental Health leads community mental health trainings throughout the world. We are grateful for this opportunity to partner with the skateboarding community to develop best practices for skaters to support one another and to reach those when they need help the most.
