The UNLOCKE THE LIGHT movement has three objectives:
- Educate high school and college students to the signs of depression, remove the stigma of depression, and make available resources to help people with mental illness and the real threat of suicide.
- Assist high school and college athletes with the transition from a life of sports to a life without sports free from depression or with the tools to manage depression. Over 30% of D1 athletes will deal with depression either in their last year of playing or the year right after playing.
- Support high school and college students by creating a safe haven where they can receive support and speak to peers about their struggles with mental illness and the threat of suicide.
