Our History
Lotus was founded in 2013 with the belief that connecting the worlds of education and mental health would benefit EVERYONE in a community. We began by focusing on getting mental health resources, support and services to students and educators in Shasta County. Within three years we had expanded into all of Northern California. Now we are able to provide our trainings and other services throughout the United States. Next we will become a global force and increase mental health literacy all over the world which will result in reducing stigma & discrimination, increase help-seeking and not only improve lives, but also save lives.
Our Mission & Vision
MISSION: To educate, equip & empower ANYONE who wants to learn more about Mental Health, Behavioral Health, Addiction & Suicide Prevention.
VISION: We envision empowering entire communities to attain optimal health & well-being by giving each individual what they need to become the best version of themselves.
We strive to Make Meaningful Connections with our clients, training participants, students & community members. We connect them to mental health resources, trainings, support and services while helping to strengthen healthy neural connections within their brains.

What People are Saying
This (ADULT MHFA) was a great training and I learned many new skills to use at work and in my personal life. Thank you Marcia!
This training (ASIST) is heavy & emotional, but so necessary in the work that we all do. I think it would be beneficial for any adult because thoughts of suicide are so common & everyone could use support.
This course (YOUTH MHFA) helped me in my personal life and in my professional career in school public safety and as a security officer working for the private sector.
