Mental Health

Active Minds
Active Minds is the nation’s leading nonprofit changing the culture around mental health for young adults. With programs in more than 1,000 schools, communities, and workplaces, they use education, advocacy, and peer-led initiatives to make conversations about mental health normal and supportive—helping young people ages 14–25 feel seen, heard, and empowered to seek help.
The Defensive Line
The Defensive Line is breaking the silence around youth suicide by turning connection into prevention. Focusing on schools and communities that serve young people of color, the organization helps students feel seen, heard, and supported. Through honest conversations, training, and care, they’re creating safe spaces where hope can grow—and lives can be saved.
“I’m a firm believer that mental health is of utmost priority, and it’s my hope to continue raising awareness.”

Lane Johnson is helping veterans rediscover purpose through service

Lane Johnson was deeply moved by veterans and Gold Star families who shared how meaningful service after the military can rebuild purpose and connection. That’s why he’s championing the Travis Manion Foundation, where veterans mentor students and strengthen character in communities nationwide. By uplifting those who continue to lead long after the uniform comes off, Lane is honoring America’s heroes and helping ensure they have the support and purpose they deserve.
