Help Us Fight The Ongoing
Mental Health Crisis
In Today's Education System.
Who We Are
Pursuit of Balance is a newly established 501(c)3 Non-Profit institution designed to support the mental wellbeing of both children and the school community that surrounds the child by teaching necessary life skills and tools that support psychological and emotional health.
Our mission is to support disadvantaged and underprivileged communities through education so that everyone has the opportunity to live confidently with cohesiveness, authenticity, and resilience.

The consequences of failing to address these mental health conditions can extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults.
Our Impact
