ABOUT THE LIFE IS GOOD PLAYMAKER PROJECT
The Life is Good Playmaker Project is the in-house nonprofit of Life is Good dedicated to helping raise the next generation of happy, healthy, world-changing optimists.
We exist because life isn’teasy for a lot of kids. Depression, anxiety, and trauma are rising at alarming rates. We believe early childhood professionals are perfectly positioned to be a powerful first-line of defense in addressing this crisis, and we give them the training, resources, and ongoing support they need to do so.
We have a growing network of more than 30,000 professionals across the U.S. and Haiti who use our trauma-informed, play-based approach to build positive relationships and joy-filled environments for children. We call these trained educators Playmakers and our work is needed now more than ever.
