Member - Athletes For Hope: Athlete Mental Health Alliance
The Athlete Mental Health Alliance (AMHA) aims to leverage the lived experiences and amplify the voices of athletes demanding a change in the sport system, as it pertains to their mental health. Through research, advocacy, and partnership we aim to facilitate a national plan supporting athlete mental health, developed with athletes, for athletes.
Our vision is to lift the ‘athlete voice’ as it leads the way in mental health solutions for elite athletes. Each of these voices combined will lead the charge in working with lawmakers to establish universal legislation that would create mental health rights for all athletes.

Supporter - Sophie's Squad
Sophie's Squad was founded in 2021 to improve the mental health of athletes from youth to college by raising awareness of mental health issues and removing the stigma associated with seeking help.
The Jordyn Clark Foundation was approached by Sophie's Squad to use our slogan, "There is always hope. There is always help." The phrase was a key message used at Jordyn's service and spoken by the family's Pastor, Paul Gauche, who also baptized Jordyn as an infant. We are proud to be able to share this important message with Sophie's Squad, who share our mission and vision.
