Our story

From humble origins to nationwide impact

For

,

and for kids everywhere

Chase Bjork was a compassionate and loving 18-year-old boy who enjoyed baking pies for neighbors, exploring the outdoors with his dog, and adventuring with his brothers.

In January 2020, Chase took his own life.

Like so many others, Chase lived with a mental illness that went unidentified and untreated for too long.

Chase's journey & core values – being an open heart, helping others, and giving back – inspired Bryce Bjork and Ting Gao to create Lenny Learning.

Lenny Learning provides online education for students, parents, and school communities to address mental/brain health. We are reclassifying ”mental health” as ”brain health” to emphasize that these conditions are physical and treatable.

Join our mission to change the way we address mental health

Every school needs and deserves health education. Lenny Learning is on a mission to create the most engaging & effective health education platform, and bring it to every adolescent, family, and community across the country.

Lenny Learning is a 501c3 non-profit because we believe health literacy should be universal. Because of this choice, your support is critical – individual donations, grants, and sponsorships make health education in schools possible. If you believe in our mission to give students & families health knowledge & skills, please offer your support.
