PROJECT BLACKBIRD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to de-stigmatize mental health — one school, one campus, one community at a time.

Through a powerful touring program, we bring together the art of storytelling, celebrity advocates from the worlds of entertainment, the NFL, and NBA, and real mental health resources to create experiences that move people to action. Our events center on a screening of the short film Blackbird, followed by a candid panel discussion designed to help students confront the shame surrounding mental health and take its power away.

But we don't stop at inspiration.

Every student audience member walks away with access to one full year of free therapy, plus a resource fair connecting them to both local and national mental health organizations and campus resources for our college programs so the journey toward healing has a clear starting point.

We believe that when young people see themselves reflected in the stories of athletes, artists, and influencers they admire, the conversation shifts. Shame shrinks. Help feels possible.

PROJECT BLACKBIRD operates at the intersection of culture and care, meeting students where they are, in the schools and on the campuses where life is happening, and giving them the tools to keep going.
