help MAKE KINDNESS
A contact sport
Shoulder Check is a commitment to checking in on the daily, because we might not always know who needs a hand, but we all have a hand to give.
Reach Out: Let them know you've got their back.
Check In: You never know who might need a hand.
Make Contact: Online or off, real connections make the difference.

Make an impact today
Shoulder Check is an #HT40 Foundation initiative
1 in 4 young adults face a mental health crisis each year—but over 2/3 will accept support from a peer. Shoulder Check, an #HT40 Foundation initiative, is about turning small actions into big impact. A simple “Hey, how’s it going?” can make all the difference.
In honor of Hayden Thorsen, we’re fostering a culture of connection—on the ice, in locker rooms, in schools, and beyond. Your donation helps us create action-driven initiatives that ensure no one feels alone.
Together, we can make checking in a daily habit. Join us and give today.
