Our Story
The Help Coalition Inc. was envisioned in January 2013, inspired by a deep understanding of the challenges faced by diverse populations. We witnessed individuals and families struggling with limited access to resources, education, and support—barriers that hindered their ability to achieve stability and success. These experiences highlighted the urgent need for an organization dedicated to bridging these gaps.
In 2016, The Help Coalition Inc. officially became a nonprofit organization, committed to serving as a resource hub and advocate for individuals and communities facing barriers to opportunity.
Community-Centered Beginnings
Our journey began with grassroots community events aimed at meeting immediate needs while fostering connection and hope. These events included:
Through these initiatives, we built lasting relationships with families, students, and community members, gaining valuable insights into the unique challenges they face.
Focus on Education and Mental Health
Recognizing that schools are critical access points for youth and families, we began collaborating with educators and specialists to address needs directly. Through roles as substitutes, behavioral specialists, and counselors, we were able to:
As our mission expanded, we partnered with agencies and schools to implement in-school programs and provide therapy services. This enabled us to meet the growing mental health needs of students while building resilience and fostering growth.
Expanding Our Reach: Transition Counseling
In 2018, we partnered with the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services to further extend our impact. As a transition counselor, we provided services across multiple counties and school systems, including:
These efforts also included practical support such as tuition assistance, diagnostic testing, school supplies, and transportation, ensuring every student had the tools needed to succeed.
Addressing Mental Health and Behavioral Needs
In 2020, The Help Coalition Inc. partnered with private mental health clinics to provide counseling services directly within schools. This initiative enabled us to:
By addressing these challenges at their root, we aim to create lasting, positive change for individuals, families, and entire communities.

At The Help Coalition Inc., we understand that stability and well-being extend far beyond the classroom. That’s why we offer comprehensive services to address barriers such as:
Additionally, we connect families to community rehabilitation programs such as The ARC of Central Alabama, Easter Seals, Goodwill, Workshops Inc., and United Ability, broadening the scope of resources available to them.
Our Commitment to Collaboration
Our success is driven by collaboration with schools, community organizations, and mental health providers. Together, we serve communities across Montgomery County, Jefferson County, Birmingham City Schools, and surrounding areas, ensuring that every individual has access to the resources and opportunities needed to thrive.
A Legacy of Service
The Help Coalition Inc. is built on a foundation of compassion, integrity, and service. Since our inception, we have been dedicated to creating a brighter future for individuals and families, one connection at a time.
The Help Coalition Inc.—Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives
The Help Coalition Inc. has grown into a lifeline for those facing barriers that threaten their ability to thrive. From the very beginning, our mission has been rooted in identifying and addressing areas of great need. Whether it’s financial assistance, transportation challenges, access to school supplies, uniforms, or essential resources, we have been steadfast in our commitment to creating pathways for stability and success.
Our efforts extend to some of life’s most pressing challenges, including diagnostic testing, securing safe living arrangements, finding meaningful work, and even assisting with college tuition. By connecting individuals and families to community rehabilitation programs like The ARC of Central Alabama, Easter Seals, Goodwill, Glenwood, Workshops Inc., and United Ability, we’ve built a network of support that empowers communities to overcome obstacles.
In 2020, recognizing the critical importance of mental health, we expanded our services to partner with privately owned mental health clinics. Together, we began offering in-school counseling services to children with behavioral and mental health diagnoses outlined in the DSM-5. These services provide group and individual counseling tailored to the needs of school-aged children, ensuring that they receive the support necessary to overcome challenges both in the classroom and beyond.
Our work doesn’t stop there. We address complex behavioral concerns, from incidents involving violent offenses to Class 3 infractions, suspensions, and alternative school placements. These challenges often stem from deeper mental health issues or difficult circumstances, and we work closely with schools, families, and community partners to intervene and create opportunities for growth and change.
Today, The Help Coalition Inc. continues to provide these essential services in collaboration with private mental health clinics, local organizations, and school systems across Alabama. Through every program and partnership, our purpose remains clear: to ensure that no child or family is left without the resources, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.
At The Help Coalition Inc., we pride ourselves on the trust and relationships we’ve built, ensuring that everyone we serve feels seen, supported, and valued. It is our honor to remain a beacon of hope for those who need it most, offering outstanding service and an enduring promise to create meaningful change.
