About Dr. Lacey Rosenbaum, PhD, MEd
Founder & CEO, Mental Health & Resilience Group
I’m a psychologist, educator, and systems-level changemaker passionate about helping schools, nonprofits, and workplaces build stronger, more resilient communities through equitable, evidence-based mental health initiatives.
As the founder and CEO of the Mental Health & Resilience Group, I partner with organizations in the U.S. and around the world to design, deliver, and evaluate programs that improve mental health literacy, access, and outcomes. My consulting and training practice specializes in trauma-informed, culturally grounded solutions that create real, sustainable impact. We offer professional development, mental wellness, and resilience promotion training — and we’re currently booking keynotes, workshops, and strategic consulting sessions for schools, companies, and community organizations.
I also serve as Program Director at the Ryan Bartel Foundation, where I lead youth-focused mental wellness programs that prevent suicide and reduce stigma through connection and leadership. I’m especially proud to have launched the Teen Mental Wellness Facilitator Training and Teen Ambassador Program, two initiatives that empower both adults and students to become mental health advocates.
Previously, I served as Director of Curricula and Research for Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) USA at the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, leading the national rollout of teen MHFA in partnership with Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. I’ve also directed national mental health and school safety programs at the American Psychological Association and worked directly with young people as a counselor in school and community-based settings.
Today, I continue this mission as a National Trainer for Mental Health First Aid USA and adjunct faculty member at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I teach and mentor the next generation of psychologists and changemakers.
My work is rooted in one belief: compassion is sustainable when systems support it.
If your school, district, or organization is ready to strengthen mental wellness, prevent burnout, and build a culture of care —
Together, we can turn awareness into action and build the foundations for lasting resilience.
