One-of-a-Kind Nonprofit Offering Fully Funded Mental Resilience Program Expands for Back-to-School Season

NEW YORK – Aug. 2025 – As students return to school this fall, RADical Hope — a national nonprofit dedicated to building mental resilience among young people — continues to deepen its impact through partnerships with colleges, universities, sports organizations and community organizations across the country.

Atlanta Technical College, led by President Dr. Victoria Seals, is among RADical Hope’s most recent partners, joining a roster that includes Oregon football, Dan Lanning, Aaron Taylor, John Harbaugh, Minor League Baseball, the NFL and many more. Together, these partnerships highlight the increasing urgency of addressing student mental health alongside academic and athletic performance.

RADical Hope’s fully funded, evidence-based program has been delivered to schools across the country, reaching more than 20,000 students. The program equips young people with tools to build emotional intelligence, manage stress, strengthen connections, and prepare for meaningful careers — skills that benefit them both on and off the field.

Interviews with Liz Feld and program supporters are available to discuss how this growing movement is equipping students to return to school with purpose, resilience, and the skills to thrive beyond the classroom.
