Who We Are

The HEARD Alliance is located on the Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area.   We are a community alliance of health care professionals, including primary care and mental health providers. We work in various settings, including clinics, hospitals, private practices, schools, government and private organizations.

Our Mission:

The HEARD Alliance’s mission is to increase collaboration amongst primary care, mental health, and educational professionals to enhance the community’s ability to promote well-being, to treat depression and related conditions and to prevent suicide in adolescents and young adults.

Our Website:

This website is a place for primary care, mental health, school professionals, and families to access and use resources created or compiled by the HEARD Alliance. Although the HEARD Alliance is focused on the peninsula region in the San Francisco Bay Area, the vast majority of our resources are relevant for users anywhere.

The resources included here have been created or compiled by the HEARD Alliance and many of them are relevant for adults as well as teens and children.  All tools included here may be used free of charge and without copyright restriction. Tools posted here that were created by the American Academy of Pediatrics are available by special permission for all website users.
