TC STRONG is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving mental health and wellbeing among youth in Transylvania County, North Carolina. We aim to promote awareness, reduce stigma, provide educational resources, and increase access to services for youth and families in our community. Learn more about what we do.

With a common goal of improving mental well-being and reducing suicide among our youth, we bring together cross-sector leaders including Transylvania Public Health, Transylvania County Schools, nonprofit partners, youth-serving organizations, and community members, each with unique skills and talents, all committed to working better together. Among our assets, we have physicians (practicing and retired), mental health professionals, educators, public health administrators, youth/students, non-clinical well-being advocates, and people with lived experience contributing to the leadership and “workforce” of TC STRONG.

The TC STRONG Board of Directors provide strategic direction, governance, leadership, ideas, resources, and expertise that contribute to the overall success of TC STRONG. They come from a variety of backgrounds, but all serve as champions and advocates for the organization and its mission within the community and beyond.

Our TC STRONG Network currently consists of a little over 150 community members from various sectors, who empower the work of TC STRONG through their volunteerism and connections to community agencies that share our mission to support the mental health and wellbeing of young people in Transylvania County. 

The Network meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 12 noon, in the Community Services Building in downtown Brevard or via Zoom. 

Interested community members can email us or complete our interest form to be added to our mailing list and join the Network.
