Sean's House Offers Free Mental Health Support to Young Adults in Delaware
Sean's House, a Delaware-based nonprofit organization, provides free mental health assistance to individuals aged 14 to 24. With locations in Newark and Lewes, the organization was founded in memory of University of Delaware student and basketball player Sean Locke, who died by suicide in 2018 at the age of 23. Sean's father transformed Locke's former residence on West Main Street in Newark into a mental health center offering trained, peer counseling. Since its opening in September 2020, Sean's House has served over 50,000 people. The organization recently received an NBCUniversal Local impact grant to expand its services, including additional therapy sessions and further location expansion.
