About Us

SHINE is a collaborative initiative that is enabling youth mental health providers to have a collective impact in Napa Valley. SHINE stands for Student Health Improvement through Nonprofit Excellence.

Our Work

In partnership with youth nonprofits, SHINE focuses on providing essential services and supports that help students live happy and healthy lives.

  • With a focus on rural communities, ensure that all families in Napa County have access to mental health and wellness support services.

  • Continue in the development of wellness hubs where services can be accessed within schools, agencies, or on the go.

  • Use student voice to raise awareness and increase access to partner mental health services through the development of a County-Wide campaign.

  • Provide training to service providers, teachers and families to build capacity and strengthen ability to recover from and respond to trauma.

  • Develop and execute shared missions, goals, and strategies that build capacity among partner agencies and increase the impact on our community.
