About Us
What We Do: 3 C's
Collaborate
- We provide training programs and workshops, virtual and in-person, to educate community members, educators, and caregivers about mental health awareness, early intervention, and supportive practices. Our programs cover topics such as recognizing signs of distress, offering peer support, and accessing professional help. Training can be requested in the following areas: trauma-informed care, suicide prevention and intervention, building social and emotional skills/coping skills, de-escalation and crisis support, mental health awareness, and wellness and stress management.
- Our website is a location where community members can access resources and find information about upcoming events. We have a curated library of articles, videos, podcasts, and recommended reading materials related to mental health and social-emotional learning for families and educators.
- We provide consultation and training to foster collaboration and partnerships between mental health professionals, educators, community organizations, and other stakeholders to leverage collective expertise, resources, and support networks. Our goal is to promote integrative systems of care building multi-tiered systems of mental health support. Provide opportunities for community members to actively participate in the design, implementation, and evaluation of mental health programs and initiatives, ensuring that they reflect the unique needs and priorities of the community.

About Our Founder
I am Dr. Lakeisha Kearney, with over 20 years in mental health, focusing on education and community well-being. My goal is to demystify mental health through teaching and training, fostering spaces that nurture collaboration, creativity, and community engagement.
In my recent role, I have supported state grants for school districts and charter schools, including initiatives for school safety, rural school mental health, and suicide prevention. I have led efforts to promote positive mental health and wellness through systemic approaches like Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, aiming to create equitable and sustainable infrastructures for mental health in schools.
I am a School Psychologist with extensive experience in special education and community mental health in Texas and Maryland. I have provided psychological evaluations, interventions, and counseling to support students' social-emotional learning and crisis intervention. My work includes advocating for positive mental health outcomes, offering professional development, and connecting families with resources.
In Maryland, I served as a therapist and service coordinator in a community mental health clinic, supporting adults with chronic conditions in housing, daily living, medication management, and job support.
I hold a Doctorate in School Psychology and a Master's in Educational Psychology from Howard University; and an undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University. I specialize in Multi-Tiered Systems of Support frameworks, training educators in social-emotional learning, positive behavior interventions, trauma-informed care, and other areas to enhance student and staff well-being.
I am a mother, wife, and active community member, passionate about organization, connection, and creativity, with a history of involvement in school and extracurricular activities.
