EchoBridge remains free for all families. If you're able to contribute, your sliding-scale donation helps us expand to more languages and communities.
The EchoBridge Program guides you through your first mental health conversation with your family—step by step, in your language.
Our art therapy sessions, mindfulness workshops, and peer support circles help build trust and awareness before families enter the EchoBridge Program. These events create safe spaces for initial conversations about mental health.
We realized that while mental health struggles are universal, the resources to treat them are often stuck behind language barriers and cultural stigma. Too many immigrant families suffer in silence—not because help doesn't exist, but because it doesn't speak their language. We bridge that gap.
Led entirely by students who recruit volunteers, delegate tasks, manage operations, and oversee everything from translation to outreach to school partnerships.

Building EchoMinds wasn't easy. Here's how our student leadership team tackled major obstacles:
Challenge: Many immigrant families view mental health as taboo.
Solution: Reframed messaging as "family wellness" and used culturally familiar metaphors in all materials. Partnered with trusted community leaders for endorsements.
Challenge: Parents hesitant to attend programs run by students.
Solution: Partnered with school counselors and community health centers for official backing. Invited parents to initial events to observe before committing.
Challenge: Mental health terms don't always translate directly or culturally.
Solution: Built a review team of native speakers and consulted cultural experts. Tested materials with focus groups before publishing.
