Many groups have started with a sponsor, usually teacher advocates or school counselors, who got together and made plans, all from scratch, with ideas generated by students with their sponsors. (There are nonprofits who have set agendas for these clubs, which will be mentioned later in this section.) The goal is to create an environment where suicide, substance misuse, self-harm, and other high-risk unhealthy coping behaviors are minimized by offering social support and access to coping skills and professional support.

The clubs mentioned here—Nobles Heads Together, No Eagle Left Behind, and Active Minds—collaborated with school counseling teams, administrators, community partners, and nonprofits focused on mental health. The students who started these clubs developed leadership skills that also made attractive additions to their high school résumés when applying for colleges. With suicide being the number two cause of death on university campuses across the US, when student applicants show leadership on this subject, it is an asset that catches the attention of admissions professionals looking for students who can shape a culture of mental wellness on their university campuses. For students not considering college, the lessons learned from leading a club or participating give them important coping tools they take into the next stage of life, whether it's trade school or apprenticeships, nursing programs, or other job training.
