Honorees recognized for advocacy and making a difference.

Actress Goldie Hawn, who is one of USA TODAY's Women of the Year, has been a fierce advocate for children's mental health since 2003 when she launched MindUP for Life, a program that helps schools, teachers, and parents teach kids the science behind their brains and the chemical reactions that drive emotions. With the rise of depression and anxiety among kids in the US, Hawn's program aims to teach children valuable mental health skills to manage stress and understand their emotions.
