Mental
Well-Being Across the Lifespan
The Important Ones
Wouldn’t it be wonderful for our communities to be a place where everyone thrives, wherever they are, from day one? Let’s make it happen.
We recognize that all points of a person’s life are important. As part of the movement, NEOne has focused on several critical points in a person’s life—transition points that can bring about big change, stressors, and joy. We call these the Important Ones.
The NEOne movement is looking to bring together all the people, places, and things that reach these important parts of life. We’re here to encourage us all to speak the same language around mental well-being and connectedness, and to take the pledge to be good supports for everyone in our community.
Day Ones
NEOne strives to build a community where every baby born is surrounded by connection, love, and support from day one. This means bringing together all the people, places and things leading up to and after a person is born—no matter the circumstances.
