Children’s Mental Health

Introduction to EQ United

Parents everywhere want their children to grow up emotionally strong, resilient, and confident in who they are. They want to support their children through life’s challenges — while also caring for their own wellbeing and joy along the way.

Yet in the midst of the children’s mental health crisis we are living through, many families are feeling the strain, without enough tools, shared language, or community support.

EQ United exists to change that.

At its heart, it is a community-powered movement that strengthens children’s mental health and supports family wellbeing through the tools developed by EQJOY, with the support of The Art and Science of Joy.

EQ United follows a simple three-step model designed to balance inspiration with sustained, joyful action in local communities.

Invitation to Collaborate

EQ United is built through collaboration. We’re bringing together parents, wellbeing experts, educators, charity partners, community leaders, and local businesses who all care deeply about children’s mental health and family wellbeing — and who believe in the importance of local, sustainable action.

How EQ United Works

EQ United follows a simple, three-step model that balances inspiration with sustained, joyful action.

EQNITE Pop-Up Gatherings
High-impact local events that introduce Emotional Intelligence and EQJOY tools, spotlight community champions, support family wellbeing and create space for connection, reflection, and storytelling.

Local EQ United Action Groups
Community-led groups that keep momentum alive through awareness-building activities, and fundraising for local children’s charities — supported by EQJOY’s central team and tools.

National EQNITE Celebration
A national gathering in Los Angeles that celebrates shared impact, amplifies community stories, recognizes contributors, and raises funds to expand EQJOY programs in the years ahead.
