Resources
A growing collection of resources drawn from Take a Hike’s 25 years of work in youth mental health. Whether you’re here to take care of yourself, support someone else, or learn more about the work of building mentally healthy communities, we hope you find something useful.
Belonging is Prevention
Inside you’ll learn why belonging is the real catalyst for change, what the data tells us about the youth we serve, and how a full-time clinician, teacher, and youth worker working together in one small cohort create the conditions that change young lives.
Self-Care Toolkit
A self-care companion workbook with meaningful prompts, grounding practices, and ideas you can weave into your everyday life. We created this workbook to make space for the part of you that needs care. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful practices and reflective prompts to help you reconnect.
Theory of Change
Our program model is built on more than two decades of student outcomes and academic research. Explore the Theory of Change to understand how we support young people through school-based mental health, land-based learning, and a strong sense of community.
