Kid in the Corner

Kid in the Corner operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on youth mental health education and stigma reduction across Oregon. The organization produces educational content through their YouTube channel, featuring student stories, expert interviews, and conference coverage centered on mental wellness resources. Their digital library includes practical guides for self-care techniques, peer support strategies, and crisis intervention methods. The organization's signature event, the Shatter The Stigma Gala, brings together mental health advocates, educators, and community partners for a night of fundraising and recognition. The annual gathering includes a formal dinner, live and silent auctions, and the presentation of Changemaker Awards to individuals and groups advancing mental health initiatives. Proceeds directly support the organization's year-round programming and advocacy efforts. Kid in the Corner maintains an active presence in state-level policy discussions around student mental health services. The organization provided testimony supporting Oregon House Bill 2093, which addressed funding for school-based mental health resources and suicide prevention programs. Their legislative work complements ongoing community partnerships with schools, healthcare providers, and youth organizations throughout the state.
